If your to-do list keeps getting longer, it can be hard to stay on track with good diabetes management. Here are a few simple tips to help you find balance (despite your busy lifestyle).

Eat Right on the Run

• Pack a snack, such as a Glucerna^® Snack Shake or Snack Bar.
• Limit sugary drinks. Instead, choose water, unsweetened tea, or diet soda.
• Use reduced-calorie dressing on salads.
• Eat mindfully. By really tasting and enjoying food, you'll feel more satisfied.

Remember to Stay Active

• Engage in mild physical activity, such as walking or gardening.
• Be aware of your weight. Weight management helps with blood sugar management.

Monitor for Blood Sugar and Stress

• Tune in to your stress level as part of your monitoring routine. Jot down how stressed you are when you check your blood sugar levels. You might see a trend over time indicating that stress raises your blood sugar.
• Work with your health care team to determine how to keep your stress under control.
