The MBSR practices help Sylvia slow down and actually pay attention to her body. On her doctor's advice, Julie tries Mindfulness Based Stress-Reduction (MBSR) classes along with her regular diabetes care program. It turns out that despite Julie generally healthy habits, her anxiety prevents her from paying attention to the cues her body gives her when her blood sugar is too low. Even scarier, despite careful monitoring of her blood sugar, she finds herself in a coma once or twice a month. She often gets angry at herself, and snaps at others for small mistakes. And while she loves her job, she feels anxious about running a business. She has a PhD, an interesting career, and good friends. Well-educated, slender, and attractive, Julie seems to have it all.
