Living with prediabetes or diabetes means following an eating plan and making food choices based on your blood glucose (blood sugar), medication, physical activity, and daily habits. This can help you stay healthy, but it can also make food choices feel stressful. For some people, that stress can grow into less than healthy choices in foods you choose. Research shows that stress from living with diabetes, body image concerns, judgement of others and pressure around food can all affect your relationship with food.
