Laughter Can Lower Your Blood Sugar

Laughter Can Lower Your Blood Sugar: Did you know that laughter can lower your blood sugar? Scientists have discovered that laughing can also help keep blood sugar levels closer to normal. In a recent published study, it was reported that laughter lowered blood sugar in both people with diabetes, and those who didn’t have the disease. Nineteen people with Type 2 diabetes, and five without, were monitored for blood glucose levels while they watched a serious lecture program. Their blood glucose levels did not change. The next day they were monitored as they watched a humorous program. Every participant’s blood glucose levels dropped, whether they had diabetes or not. So enjoy a good laugh as often as you can. It’s one more way to help you manage your blood sugar. Diabetes Care 2008
