Did you know that April is Stress Awareness month? Managing diabetes can be stressful enough, especially after a new diagnosis. The lifestyle changes, glucose monitoring, and long-term health concerns can feel overwhelming. On top of that, everyday stressors can also raise blood sugar levels, making management more challenging.
Prioritizing sleep, stay active for at least 150 minutes a week, eating balanced meals, and practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing can help. Having a strong support system, whether through family, friends, or our health care team, can make a big difference. You don’t have to navigate diabetes management alone. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or would just like extra support, please reach out to the Patient Care team at 435-586-1112. We’re here to help.
