5. Mental stress
Mental stress often raises the blood sugar levels, which
basically spikes the amount of glucose in the blood. Stress can
be long term or short term, but the problem is that even if its
short term, the hormones that are released to cope with
stress stay turned on for longer, and cause the blood glucose
levels to stay high for a long time.

6. Stress can
Stress can be something as dangerous as a traffic jam or as
mind numbing as a nagging boss or even an old parent to take
care of. The hormones are pumped generously to deal with
this and they won’t really stop since the enemy here is nothing
but the person's mind. Stress is detrimental for people with
diabetes, as they forget to plan their meals and check blood
sugar levels constantly.

They try to cope with the issues and the stress raises the
blood sugar levels directly. In type 1 diabetes both mental and
physical stress can cause the spike whereas in type 2 it’s the
mental stress which causes a sure shot spike in the blood
sugar levels and can be detrimental for the patient. It’s easy to
check whether the mental stress is affecting the levels or not
and can be measured.

memory
Besides this, stress also hampers memory. Can’t remember
where you kept your money? Blame it on the stress! But no,
seriously stress and depression hamper one’s mindset and
thinking and make it difficult to focus and concentrate and
remember things since there’s so much playing on your mind.

9. Breathing exercises
Breathing exercises, meditation, soothing music and exercise
can all be your outlets and release the stress from your life
but more importantly you need to take a deep breath and look
at the bigger picture, and replace the bad thoughts and
negativity with good productive ones!
