Stress unfortunately is a part of our daily life. Tracking blood sugar levels, proper insulin doses, getting active and changing lifelong eating habits – it’s all a great amount to take on board.
If you are affected by stress you may not take care of yourself as well as you should. Stress will also affect blood sugar- releasing hormones that can cause blood sugar to spike and drop unpredictably.
Anxiety is the natural response to stress- feelings of fear and apprehension about what comes next. This is especially prevalent within those who deal with long term illnesses and their potential complications like diabetes.
