Diabetes and Stress
How stress affects diabetics.
Stress can cause higher glucose levels in people with diabetes. While in diabetics who have Type 1 Diabetes, the levels can be higher or lower, in Type 2 diabetics, the glucose levels are almost always higher when stress is a factor. This can be from lowered self care, abuse of alcohol, or other factors.
