Diabetes Management Tip #7:
"Stress hormones directly affect blood glucose levels. When you're experiencing stress, your body reacts with a flight-or-fight response.Your body directs blood to the muscles and limbs, allowing you to fight the situation. Your body may not be able to process the glucose released by your firing nerve cells if you have diabetes. If you can’t convert the glucose into energy, it builds up in the bloodstream. This causes your blood glucose levels to rise." - Healthline
