FITNESS FRIDAY – Benefits of MINDFULNESS in DIABETES Management…



Hi everyone,

I’m Dr B Jagadish, a Diabetes Wellbeing Coach, and today I want to talk to you about the benefits of mindfulness for people with diabetes.

As a diabetes coach, I’ve seen firsthand the powerful impact that mindfulness can have on my clients. Not only does it help with stress management and overall well-being, but it can also have a direct impact on blood sugar control.

So, what exactly is mindfulness? It’s the practice of bringing your attention to the present moment, without judgment. This can involve activities like meditation, deep breathing, or simply paying attention to your surroundings and your body.

Now, let’s dive into the top five benefits of mindfulness for people with diabetes:

Stress management: One of the most common challenges for people with diabetes is managing stress. High levels of stress can impact blood sugar control, which is why it’s so important to find ways to manage it. Mindfulness can help by providing a sense of calm and clarity, and it can also help you better cope with the daily challenges of living with diabetes.

Improved blood sugar control: Research has shown that mindfulness practices can help people with diabetes better manage their blood sugar levels. In one study, people with type 2 diabetes who participated in a mindfulness program saw significant improvements in their A1C levels (a measure of blood sugar control over time).

Increased self-awareness: Mindfulness helps you tune into your body and your feelings, which can be especially helpful for people with diabetes. By paying attention to how different foods, activities, and stressors affect you, you can make more informed decisions about your diabetes management.

Better sleep: Stress and poor blood sugar control can both affect sleep quality, which is why getting enough rest is so important for people with diabetes. Mindfulness practices can help you relax and fall asleep more easily, leading to better sleep quality overall.

Enhanced overall well-being: Finally, mindfulness can have a positive impact on your overall well-being. It can help you feel more present, more grounded, and more in control of your life. All of these things can contribute to a better quality of life for people with diabetes.

In conclusion, mindfulness can be a powerful tool for people with diabetes. Whether you’re looking to manage stress, improve blood sugar control, or simply feel better overall, incorporating mindfulness into your routine can make a big difference.

I hope you found this information helpful, and if you have any questions or want to learn more, don’t hesitate to reach out.
