Stress causes increased cortisol levels, which can exacerbate diabetes. Cortisol acts against insulin, increasing blood sugar levels and making it harder for sugar to leave the bloodstream.
Managing stress is important for reducing cortisol levels. Relaxation techniques can help reduce stress. Techniques might include meditation, deep breathing, hobbies that focus the mind, exercise, taking a bath or being involved in a support group. Explore your options and discover what works for you.
