How to Avoid and Deal with Stress

Diabetes can be such a source of stress. One can get frustrated and depressed from having this condition and no wonder because it is an incurable disease. When one adds all the responsibilities involved, everything can be overwhelming. But don't despair for there are lots of support around. And I will certainly try my best to help you.

To be a successful diabetic, the most important thing is to keep a positive attitude. Do not dwell on the negative side of the disease.

Instead, work hard to achieve more so that you can improve your life and the life of those around you. Of course, you have to do something about the problem. Your health care team will put you in the right direction.
