How do you manage your stress?

[Emmasndco]

I know lots of factors affect our blood sugars. Over the last 18 months my blood sugars have greatly improved partially due to mounjaro and a keto diet. However, I have been struggling the last few months (relationship breakdown, work stress and a double cancer diagnosis for my dad) everything is a little on top of me and I feel like the stress is having a big impact on the numbers. Has anyone else experienced stress having such an impact on your sugars? What helps you to manage your stress?

I am so sorry to hear that and offer my sincerest condolences. I am autistic with ADHD and my emotions and stress levels are constantly playing havoc wit blood sugars. Getting them under control is a full time job.
