title: Getting past tense. Dealing with stress the right way may safeguard your health.
abstract: The clock is ticking and the traffic is horrendous. Late to work again. And you left your blood glucose meter at home. Hello, stress.

Type 2 diabetes, for example, may be brought on in part by stress. Constant anxiety may be detrimental for people with diabetes, too, but don't let that worry you; there are strategies for tackling stress.
