Manage diabetes: Manage your diabetes. Fluctuations in blood sugar will affect your emotional health as well. I would suggest talking to a health psychologist who will help you with skills needed to cope with diabetes and be adherent with diabetes treatment. You might also consider medication if there's a need. Good luck!

Exercise: Exercise is a great way to relieve stress. Your body releases endorphins during exercise, which can help you feel calm. If you exercise 30 - 60 minutes a day, your stress levels can improve. When stressed, take 5 slow, deep breaths with your eyes closed, then roll your shoulders forward 5 times, then back 5 times. This will slow your heart rate and release tension in your neck and shoulders.
