Stress not only affects the mental state, but also the functioning of the body, especially for diabetes patients, it can be even more worrying. When you are under stress, the body releases hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, which can increase blood sugar rapidly. This condition is called “fight or flight response”, which prepares the body to deal with danger, but this reaction in diabetic patients can cause many complications.
How does stress affect diabetes?
-
People suffering from type 2 diabetes increase blood sugar levels rapidly during mental stress.
-
This reaction is diverse in patients with type 1 diabetes – if sugar increases in some, some can fall into some.
-
Physical stress (due to illness or injury) can also increase glucose levels, whether the person is type 1 or type 2 diabetic.
How to identify that stress is affecting your sugar level?
Keep track of your blood sugar level and stress conditions for a few weeks. For example:
-
Do you get more discomfort due to work stress on Monday morning?
-
Is blood sugar level high in those days?
If yes, it is a clear indication that your stress is affecting diabetes. In such a situation, the situation can be improved by taking steps on time.
