Agree. Here is a more definitive article describing what stress does to us physiologically. However it ignores adrenalineStress trigger's Cortisol the stress hormone, which in turn increases your sugar level. I had a test recently and it was slightly elevated.
Just to be clear - it's GLYCOGEN that's stored in the liver, and GLUCAGON is the hormone that tells the liver to convert it to glucose. Unless you're on very low carb (under 50g per day), you probably won't keep your normal glycogen level depleted.I am not sure, but it looks like you may be using a Low Carb type of diet/ If so then it usually takes a while to settle down. If this is early days, then you will probably have still got large deposits of stored glucogen in the liver, and this has to be dissipated first by low carbing. This is often the source of what we know of as liver dump, and it can give surprising bgl results at the oddest of moments. However, it looks like you are already recording lower bgl bumps closer to where you want to be, so just keep doing the meter checks, and drop those foods that push it up. You will find things become easier as your fasting (morning) levels drop .

This is another article that describes both of them, but is not a medical journal.

Agree. I don't normally look on Huff Post as being a serious source for my data They do tend to be anti establishment and 'alternative'. They do like point scoring.I don't get it with the Huffington Post - on the one hand they post some very well done scientific articles, but then they do some **** piece worth of the Daily Mail or Fox News about some crackpot health story of the 'Facebook causes cancer' variety, and particularly evil is it's frequent giving a platform to anti-vaccination loons.

AYPI?And link-baiting
They make up stuff that makes a good headline to get you to click through - shoddy behaviour in general.AYPI?
Do you really think that applies to the article I posted? To me the title says exactly whats in the tin, and no more. Are you saying Huff post should be banned from this site? I did point out that it was not a medical journal, so needs to be taken with a pinch of salt. And you were right to point out that it can be an unreliable source of info, but was there anything in the article itself that is incorrect or inappropriate? Apart from the side ads.They make up stuff that makes a good headline to get you to click through - shoddy behaviour in general.
No, just chatting.Do you really think that applies to the article I posted? To me the title says exactly whats in the tin, and no more. Are you saying Huff post should be banned from this site?

OK. It wasn;t clear you were being satirical. Perhaps an occasional [lol] would show tongue in cheek? No good using emojo's though since they dont show up in my browser.No, just chatting.
With those figures I'd be delighted! Wait until your spikes hit the high teens, like mine occasionally do, then worry! I'm currently 7.2 and utterly delighted with that. A very low carb, high fat diet all day long is the only way I can keep anywhere near that figure.Is it the actual spike that does the damage, or is it the amount of time that it remains high?
I spike from around 5.8 to 9.2 after breakfast ... but that's the reading an hour following my first mouthful.
By the time another three quarters of an hour has elapsed ( so under two hours from first mouthful) my levels are always back to about 6.1
I've looked on other diabetic information pages but cannot find this mentioned. Thanks
If you ever catch me 'lolling' unless it's in real life, then kill me. In fact, if I ever actually say the word 'lol' IRL instead of actually laughing, also kill me - and anyone else who says it.OK.

Sorry for throwing a hissy fit. my bgl currently at 4,1 so my avatar woke up.

ROFLI will admit to using lol to disguise the fact that I am a sarcastic witch from hell a lot of the time. I don't mean to sound nasty, I just have a strange sense of humour. Lol can be useful, although I did feel daft using it the first few hundred times...
Hey! Look at you quoting like a pro. 3 weeks ago you were so worried. Well done! And back down to 6.1 is spot on target.Is it the actual spike that does the damage, or is it the amount of time that it remains high?

I tend to agree with you - my worst overall levels occur when I'm stressed, in pain, and/or feeling unwell. After a recent bad fall (caused by my dog dragging me overThat is interesting Phil. I have perhaps a half dozen spikes in the last couple months in the 8 to 9 range and all of them are not food related but illness. The 9 was after not eating for several days. Amazing what stress, for good reasons or bad, can do to our bodies.
