How Stress Affects Diabetes

Stress. Something I deal with 24/7. Something I do everything in my power to avoid.

Unfortunately, like stress, diabetes in unavoidable. And the funny thing is that the two are connected!

For me, when I'm stressed out my blood sugar always seems to naturally go down/go lower! I don't know if it's just a coincidence all the time, but that's the pattern that I have noticed!

For example, (story time) one time at school I forgot to refill my reservoir/insulin so I had no insulin at school. So then (knowing stress lowers my BG) I told myself it wasn't a big deal and not to stress, which I knew would trigger my stress and my blood sugar magically started going down!

Although it may just be a coincidence, I think stress is related to my diabetes! And that's the fun tip for all you diabetics to try out ;)
