Stress and Diabetes
Elise Karnegis, Registered Dietitian & Diabetes Educator with Baptist Health South Florida, says a stress management technique is the 4-5-6 rule: breath in for 4 seconds, hold it for 5 seconds, and breath out for 6 seconds.
Angie Placeres, Registered Dietitian with Baptist Health South Florida, explains stress increases blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and heart disease risks. She recommends doing meditation, taking a walk, or reading a book to manage stress.
