Proof that stress spikes bg.
Yesterday I was having a normal pleasant day, had frittata for lunch about 12:00 then a bit of gardening that raised my bg slightly.
Then at 4pm had a phone call about a family emergency. Realised I had to travel and probably would miss dinner so packed an emergency nut bar and left home , thinking it would an opportunity to fast, as fasting is good and lowers bg levels, right?
All I had between 4 pm and 4 am was half a litre of water and half the nut bar.
Look at my bg.
I havent been that high since cup cakes on VE day last year.
Proof perfect that stress is bad for bg
(Hoping emergency now resolved, sort of!)
And glad I have space in my averages for the unexpected
