Stress + diabetes = ⠀
⠀
No doubt, stress is somewhat chronic right now. Worrying about ill family members, homeschooling, childcare, mom guilt, running a business, on top of caring for my diabetes, I’ve noticed a shift. Yet, I am healthy and holding onto that!⠀
The impact of stress on someone with diabetes:⠀
⠀
– Lack of attention to the quality of food you’re eating⠀
– Lack of attention to the amount of food you’re eating⠀
– Strong negative feelings towards diabetes⠀
– Checking your blood sugars TOO much⠀
– Not checking your blood sugars enough⠀
– Feeling anxiety or depression⠀
– Difficulty practicing self-care⠀
– Tricky high blood sugars⠀
– Not exercising as often⠀
– Feeling alone⠀
– Disruption of routine⠀

Stress can affect our overall well-being, but it can also guide us towards growth. Nonetheless, if you’re feeling the burdens of stress, message me. I’m here to help.⠀
