Stress Management

Diabetic De-Stress Natural Supplements and herbal remedies
Although you should always be aware of the influence natural supplements can have on your body, and also on your diabetic medication regime, before taking them, some substances can be effective in helping to alleviate the symptoms or complications of diabetes and stress. The good thing about natural supplements is that you can often tailor your treatment through choosing a specific herb or extract. Diabetics should beware of ‘miracle cures,’ these are often false marketing, despite the ingredients having a role to play in diabetes treatment.
Please add your own feedback about each herbal supplement to help other diabetic choose their supplements carefully.
