Stress hormones can raise blood sugar and make diabetes harder to manage.
Regular exercise, adequate sleep, deep breathing, hobbies, and support from friends and family can help. Talk to your doctor if stress or low mood is affecting your health.
Pin Tip
Try a five minute breathing exercise when you feel overwhelmed.
Work With Your Care Team

Know the Emergency Signs
Call 911 if someone with diabetes becomes confused, cannot stay awake, has a seizure, or cannot safely swallow. Seek urgent care for very high blood sugar with vomiting, deep rapid breathing, or a fruity breath odor.
Quick Reminder
