one of the best ways to manage type-2 diabetes is by watching sugar and starch intakes, exercising regularly, taking regular walks through the neighborhood, ensuring that one’s blood sugar levels are monitored often.

Chinese medicine also suggests managing emotional stress and anxiety as a way of reducing stress hormones which can spike blood sugar levels. Acupuncture and herbs such as licorice and aloe may be used in addition to more conventional therapies, but these should be discussed with a qualified practitioner before use.

1. Meditate – about 15 minutes per day (or even set an alarm to go off once or twice)
2. Eat breakfast, eat healthy snacks in the afternoon, and eat dinner at home with whole foods prepared ahead of time
3. Walk for one hour every day (a brisk walk is good!)
4. Get plenty of sleep (set a bedtime alarm to help commit to this goal)
5. Take long baths/showers – about 20 minutes max! Try alternating hot and cold water during each bath or shower, then stretch afterwards from the top of your head down to your toes for 20-30 seconds on each side! Let gravity pull away any tense muscles you have!
6. Do a workout video for 20 minutes a day (even if the video is only 10 minutes) – it doesn’t have to be strenuous! Even Yoga works, as long as you move enough and breathe normally!
7. Drink at least 8 glasses of water every day, ensure that you’re peeing clear!
8. Eat organic as often as possible, especially when buying produce
