BE SMART WITH SWEETS<br />

One popular myth on diabetes forums and elsewhere is that you can’t eat any<br />

sugar at all if you have diabetes. You don’t need to eliminate sugar completely, but you<br />

have to be smart with sweets. You will still be able to indulge in small servings of your<br />

favorite sweets on special occasions. Plan carefully and balance your splurge with the<br />

other carbohydrates consumed that day, preferably by bypassing them.<br />

EXERCISE AND AVOID<br />

BEING STRESSED<br />

Exercise regularly. Exercise improves<br />

the way the human body handles glucose<br />

and insulin and helps to keep<br />

blood sugar stable. Exercise should be<br />

a wonderful part of a diabetic lifestyle.<br />

Don’t get stressed out. When people with<br />

diabetes feel stressed, their blood glucose<br />

levels tend to rise. Research various<br />

ways to relax to aid in calming yourself.<br />

Yoga and meditation are two possibilities.<br />

Also, there are some breathing exercises<br />

that you can teach yourself. Since<br />

you can do them anywhere, they are ideal.<br />

Do not allow living with diabetes to become<br />

a complicated thing. Focus on the<br />

tips you’ve read in this article, in order to<br />

make living with diabetes a simple day-today<br />

routine that you can easily incorporate<br />

into your life. If you can follow these tips,<br />

you’re on your way to wellness.<br />
