9. Stamp Out Stress
Stress is showing up more and more these days as something that can have numerous negative effects on health, and it appears that the risk of developing diabetes is another one that can be added to the list. Stress triggers the body’s panic mode, otherwise known as “fight or flight,” which causes blood sugar levels to rise. Insulin-resistant cells can lead to an accumulation of blood sugar, which can then cause diabetes. There are numerous ways to fight stress, so if you are suffering from too much of it in your life, pick the method that best suits you and commits to it.
