Steer Clear of Stress
With diabetes, your heart and blood vessels are having enough trouble functioning normally, and stress just complicates things. When you first start managing diabetes it's easy to get frustrated, but you need to do your best to avoid stress. Work with your medical team to develop a simple, daily relaxation plan and write it down. When the day gets rough and you're about to lose it, take a breath and put your plan into action.
