People with diabetes, both physical and emotional stress can take a greater toll on health... Anything upsetting like going through a breakup or being laid off is certainly emotionally draining. Being down with the flu or suffering from a urinary tract infection places physical stress on the body. It's generally these longer-term stressors that tax your system and have much more effect on blood sugar levels... Once you've pinpointed your stressors and notice which ones send your blood sugar levels soaring, you'll need to devise some ways to chill out. What helps keep stress under wraps? Anything that relaxes you. Take up yoga, meditation, or deep breathing. [http://diabetes.webmd.com/features/stress-diabetes?page=2]
