Health Tip: Manage Stress to Keep Diabetes in Check

By Diana Kohnle, HealthDay Reporter


(HealthDay News) -- Physical and emotional stress can be problematic for diabetics, as it tends to cause blood sugar to rise.


The American Diabetes Association suggests how to keep stress under control:



  • Find ways to reduce stress, such as by taking an alternate route to avoid traffic, mending problems with a friend or changing to a less stressful job.

  • Engage in regular physical activity.

  • Do something fun, such as taking dance lessons, picking up a new hobby or practicing a craft.

  • Volunteer in your community.

  • Practice relaxation exercises.
