When we get stressed, when our stress response or or our sympathetic nervous system is triggered, our body dumps blood sugar to give us the energy to fight or flee. So think about how that's going to impact somebody who's already developing insulin resistance and developing symptoms of pre diabetes or has diabetes. Your blood sugar is going to go way up and your A1C is going to become much more difficult to control. So understanding the interaction between stress, whether it's physical stress, emotional stress, or even environmental stress, understanding the connection between stress and your blood sugar is really crucial to maintaining your health and well being.

So basically bringing it back. Recognizing even if you aren't diabetic or pre diabetic, understanding how stress causes your body to really increase your blood sugar levels is really important because you don't want to regularly b be bombarding your system with high levels of blood sugar. And by managing your stress, you're taking a huge step to preventing or moderating your risk of diabetes.
