Managing diabetes is no joke. It’s so important that we all find what works for us. I’ve been a type 1 diabetic for over 10 years now, so believe me, I get how tough the daily grind can be. You should check out my story here from when I was first diagnosed as a teen.
Now, some of you might be interested in crystals and their benefits. Let me tell you about 5 types that could help us diabetics out, both type 1 and 2. I know we’re dealing with this for life, but crystals may help you feel a bit better along the way.
How Crystals Can Help Manage Diabetes Symptoms
Certain crystals can help regulate your blood sugar and insulin if you use them regularly. For example, citrine is said to be energizing and may help balance how your pancreas works. I always put mine on my lower belly. Blue lace agate is another one that can calm your nerves. We diabetics know stress can really screw with our blood sugar.
Other crystals are supposed to improve blood flow, too, which is huge for us – especially in our feet. Or they may curb your appetite so you don’t feel like you need to eat something sweet and have to take extra insulin. It’s all about maintaining balance.
Rhodochrosite
This beautiful pink crystal can help stabilize blood sugar levels and promote healing for diabetics. The crystal gives off such a calming, loving vibe, too. It can help reduce stress and anxiety, which, as we all know, is super important for diabetes.
Some people like to put the stone right on their lower belly or over their pancreas. This is supposed to encourage normal insulin production, which can help if you’ve got type 2 diabetes. Or you can just hold it while meditating to relax and connect with your body’s natural healing.
Some even recommend sleeping with it under your pillow. That’s supposed to regulate your blood sugar overnight. Personally, I’d just leave it on my nightstand next to the bed.
With its pretty pink color and gentle energy, rhodochrosite seems like a must-have crystal friend for any diabetic looking to balance themselves physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Black Tourmaline
Black tourmaline is a crystal that’s said to have some neat properties! For one, it’s supposed to block out those electromagnetic fields from our devices like phones and laptops. Which is interesting because long-term exposure to that stuff may cause issues for diabetics down the line.
It’s also believed to help the liver and kidneys do their thing by filtering out excess sugar and toxins from the body. As a crystal that gives off ions and infrared rays, it could improve blood flow and oxygen levels, too. Good circulation is important for healing up if you’re diabetic.
With its grounding energy, it may help take the edge off stress and anxiety as well. Keeping calm is key when you’ve got a serious health thing to manage, like diabetes.
Meditating with a tourmaline crystal could help you relax. Lowering stress hormones could aid with maintaining steady blood sugar levels. Personally, I like how black tourmaline looks so I keep some in my office on my desk as decoration and for its healing properties.
Selenite
Selenite is a crystal known for its calming and cleansing energy. It can help diabetics in a few key ways. It promotes relaxation and reduces stress. Chronic stress can negatively impact blood sugar levels, so selenite’s stress-relieving properties are beneficial. I sure notice my sugar spikes whenever I’m feeling tense. That’s when I’ll hold onto my selenite crystal.
Selenite also clears out any negative energy, which helps you stay positive. As we all know, keeping a good attitude is important for managing diabetes.
It also supports kidney function, and since your kidneys play a role in regulating sugar, keeping them healthy is a good thing. Selenite is said to promote kidney health and help the body absorb insulin better. Some people even think it can help you make better use of the insulin, too.
You may want to try meditating with a selenite wand or putting some selenite crystals around your home and workspace. It is supposed to help you feel tranquil and support you in taking care of your diabetes.
Blue Lace Agate
Blue lace agate is a really chill stone that can help keep your blood sugar levels even. Its calming vibes are great for folks with diabetes who get anxious or restless when their blood sugar is up and down.
You can put a smooth blue lace agate rock under your pillow while you sleep or carry it around with you during the day. Its soothing presence helps lower stress, which can spike your blood sugar. Meditating with a blue lace agate crystal in your lap or on your chest really helps you feel at peace inside. Less stress hormones help keep your blood sugar steady.
Blue lace agate mixes well with other diabetes-friendly stones like fluorite and selenite. Combining them makes for a powerful effect on stabilizing your blood sugar.
With how tranquil and centering it is, blue lace agate is a great addition if you use crystals for managing your diabetes and feeling well overall.
Fluorite
Fluorite is a wonderful crystal for people with diabetes. Its calming and grounding energy can help stabilize blood sugar levels and provide support for the pancreas.
Fluorite can gently stimulate the pancreas and help it produce insulin more efficiently (if you are type 2). The high calcium content in fluorite can also aid insulin functioning and blood sugar regulation.
On an energetic level, fluorite balances and harmonizes the chakras. When the chakras are in alignment, the body’s systems function optimally. For diabetics, this means the endocrine system can better regulate hormones involved in blood sugar control. The vibration of fluorite also helps relieve stress, which is crucial for diabetics since high stress can cause blood sugar to spike.
Bottom Line
“Diabetic crystals” like selenite, blue lace agate, fluorite, black tourmaline, and rhodochrosite have really made a difference for me over the past decade since I was diagnosed. I know it can feel overwhelming sometimes, but having these stones around has given me a sense of control over my health. It’s really boosted my well-being to take a holistic approach in addition to any medical treatment. Give them a shot – they worked wonders for me, and I’m sure they could help you feel empowered, too.
