Diabetes is a major health hazard in the United States. It affects children and adults alike. There are things that you can do to help prevent developing diabetes. Or if you have developed diabetes these things can lessen the effect on your body. Lowering your stress level, exercise, and watching your eating habits are three ways to have a health life even if you have developed diabetes. According to researchers at Duke University Medical Center people with type 2 diabetes who use stress management as a part of their daily routine can reduce their average blood sugar levels by a significant margin (Ascribe newswire). This was the first large study to prove that something easy and inexpensive could have a major effect on sugar levels. Speaking on how effective the research was Richard Surwit, lead researcher of the study stated, “The change is nearly as large as you would expect to see from some diabetes –control drugs.” In other words, the affect of learning to deal with the stress in a person’s life can reduce glucose levels just as much as some of the medications that a diabetic may have to take. |
