😓 Stress and Blood Sugar: The Hidden Connection You Can’t Ignore
Ever noticed your blood sugar go up — even when you haven’t eaten anything unusual? Stress might be the reason.

When you’re under stress, your body releases hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. These hormones trigger the liver to release more glucose into the bloodstream — a survival mechanism that no longer serves us in daily life.

⚠️ Signs stress may be affecting your diabetes:
High blood sugar with no clear food trigger

Fatigue or tension headaches

Trouble sleeping or staying focused

Feeling anxious or “on edge”

🧘 What helps:
Deep breathing exercises or meditation

Gentle movement like walking or stretching

Keeping a regular sleep schedule

Talking to someone — don’t carry it alone

You can’t eliminate all stress, but you can change how your body responds to it — and that can make a real difference.
