Stress can cause our blood sugar to shoot up higher than some foods and too 'stress is known to work on our hearts.As we already have a lower
immunity to heart disease it is wise to have some ideas on how to
stop sressing. Read that book A but how Most things are not worth
stressing over.
One method that we were taught in Diabetic meetings with a nurse diabetes educator is to pretend you have a tough plastic bubble all around you that stress cannot penetrate at all and no matter what is thrown at you it cannot get into you mind as yo u are shielded. This sounds silly but it does indeed
work.

It´s like invisible protection or placebo at work. I relieve stress like that. I may close my senses to whatever is causing the stress and this lessens it.

@Hatley Stress affects the mind and from the mind it finds its way to the physical body.

@Hatley Mom has been my best friend all my life. This last time she acted like one of the clients that I used to care for. I did all I could in those days but I also got to go home at night and let go. This day to day living with a client Mom and my dear hubby was a trap that nobody was delighted to be in.

It's a nice idea, thanks for sharing this because my husband is also a diabetic and he needs to cope with so much stress in his work.
