I saw an article yesterday showing research that suggests that laughing can help to stabilise blood sugar levels. It seems to be quite good evidence...

Could laughing be used as a treatment or for clinical purposes?

Would be an interesting and fun way to help with blood sugar control...

Here is the article if you want a read:

Very interesting article thanks for the link,I believe it is good to laugh.
 
I would imagine that laughter reduces stress and exercises the diaphragm so it probably makes sense.
 
However you'd have to do a lot of laughing to keep the BS flat all day!
 
As long as it's not hysterical laughter brought on by the comments of HCPs, then I don't see the harm in trying!
 
Can't beat having a good laugh, if it helps lower bg levels then all the better

Yep, it releases the 'happy' hormone in the brain and has proved to be beneficial to patients with depression
