At work do you feel like tearing down the walls? Every dead line, every meeting, every comments from customer irritates you, your family life is going down the drain because you cannot enjoy anything and you feel like a pressure cooker about to explode?
Your diabetes can really affect your resistance to everyday stress and can make you sensitive to everything, just as if you were hearing very high pitch noises like a dog.
Although there are no easy solutions, i would suggest you first put your priorities straight. If you are involved in a high stress career which is simply eating you alive, i would suggest you search for some other way of earning a living or just lower your work hours a bit. The reasoning behind this is that you will need your family support and love more than the mighty dollar to get you through this life and stay sane. You might have stored away in the back of your mind and heart projects, maybe it is time that you get to them and enjoy accomplishing them.
Forgive, forgive, forgive... Make sure that nothing stays with you, no aggravations, no grievances, no anger.
As far as a diet : focus on berries, bean sprout, brocoli, alot of fibers from many sources, from wheat bran to peas, from apple to beans. soluble or insoluble. Do not be shy to test your blood sugar at odd times of the day to see how stress influences your sugar levels. Please take tea not coffee, avoid smoking and alcohol. Avoid cookies, reduce starchy food intake(potato,bananas). Eliminating fatty foods as proven to increase the entry of sugar inside our cell which gives us energy. Get your proteins mostly from peas and beans.
Take a walk , feel in your lungs with fresh air, feel alive, feel the moment.
May your day count, for you and the ones who love you.
Eric
