Stress and Blood Sugar
The Stress-Glucose Connection
Stress can impact blood sugar levels by triggering the release of hormones like cortisol, which can increase glucose production. In the U.S., individuals with diabetes or prediabetes may experience fluctuations in blood sugar during stressful situations.
To manage blood sugar levels, practice stress reduction techniques such as mindfulness, regular physical activity, and maintaining a balanced diet. Addressing stress supports better glucose control and overall health.
