[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 602562, member: 41816"] Yes, I'm afraid stress does affect BG - a lot. to really sure what the mechanism is, but adrenalin factors in, and we respond to stress with lots of fight-or-flight responses (adrenalin, and needing energy to deal with the emergency), then afterwards we usually slump, feel tired and want foods (often carbs) to rapidly replenish our BG and glucose reserves. If it is grinding ongoing stress, then the BG can be raised for days or weeks, and sometimes our adrenal glands can get 'exhausted' where they just can't keep us on 'high alert' any longer. That is when we need some serious downtime - long lie ins, a holiday, maybe time off work. Gives the system time to recover. How is your mum doing now? [/QUOTE]
