Managing Stress & Diabetes

Introduction

Stress is a word that is used widely but not well understood. At some time we all experience stress and we react in different ways. While a particular situation may cause stress for one person, it may not be stressful for another. To fully understand stress, it is important to know about the direct link between the mind and the body and to know that it's not stress itself that is harmful, but the way we deal with it.

Living with a chronic condition such as diabetes, can in itself be a major cause of stress for many people. This information sheet explains what stress actually is, how it can affect your diabetes and offers some helpful hints about how to deal with it.
