Do You Have Diabetes Support or a Diabetes Buddy?

How Do I Deal with Daily Diabetes Stress?
Managing diabetes often comes with challenges that leave you feeling stressed. Needing to check blood sugar levels regularly, stay active, make the right food choices, take medicines, and make other decisions daily may leave you feeling overwhelmed. Other worries may include handling low blood sugar levels, the risk of complications, and the cost of medicines and healthcare.

Easy Exercises You Can Do at Home
If you have diabetes, regular physical activity — along with diet and medications — is an important part of managing your blood sugar. But that doesn’t mean you have to buy a gym membership and find time to exercise at a gym. Start by talking to your doctor before you begin exercising. But if your healthcare team okays it, it doesn’t matter what your fitness level is, you can start slow and start enjoying the benefits of exercise. The best part is that there are many exercises you can do at home.
