When you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, stress has a huge role to play. When you experience physical or emotional stress, your body releases stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. In response, the body releases extra energy into the bloodstream in the form of glucose.

But when you’re stressed, your body releases these hormones, even if there isn’t a major physical threat involved. The result of it? Higher blood pressure, increased heart rate, and a rise in blood sugar. And when you have diabetes, it can become a big problem. Because when the stress is constant, your hormones and blood sugar will continue to surge.

So what you have to do whenever you feel stressed is to monitor your blood sugar levels. This way, you’ll see if stress is actually affecting them or not. When you feel stressed, rate your level of mental stress on a scale from 1 to 10. Ten reflects the highest level of stress. Write this number down in your journal. After rating your stress, check your glucose levels. Continue doing this for the next couple of weeks. After some time, you'll notice the pattern. If you see that your glucose is regularly high, it’s likely that stress is negatively affecting your blood sugar.

People with diabetes are 20% more likely to experience anxiety than those without the condition. Finding the right ways to deal with stress when you have diabetes is a must. That’s why Amy put 5 simple yet really effective techniques that will help you relax and keep normal blood sugar levels.

#1: Exercising. Even brief periods of walking can help you relax and deal better with stress. If you can exercise in a gym or join an exercise class, you are away from whatever troubles you, and you can just focus on a particular activity. Try to get at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity physical activity.

#2: Start meditation. Any kind of meditation can help get rid of negative thoughts and allow your mind to relax. Whether it is spiritual meditation, cognitive therapy, or yoga, it all makes a huge difference! Mindfulness techniques are designed to help you reduce stress.

#3: Start writing a journal. Keeping a gratitude journal or writing your thoughts down in a diary is a great stressbuster. If you write down all that you are grateful for daily, or any other positive things that happened to you every day, you will calm your brain down and release positivity.

#4: Try out the Klinio app. Klinio changes the way you approach diabetes, your everyday routine, and your food. Lots of people who have been using this app agreed that it helps you take small steps toward sustainable results, avoid anxiety, and diabetes burnout.

#5: Find a hobby. Explore new activities that keep you moving and distract you at the same time. There are plenty of options for you here: try hiking in new settings every weekend, traveling to another city, and spending the whole day walking. And give yourself some time to find what you really like.
