[QUOTE="christi99, post: 903818, member: 179601"] You make a very good point about stress. Physiological and emotional stress affect blood glucose levels. While there are many complex metabolic/biochemical reasons for this, it is a known fact. In the ICU, we have everyone (even those not diabetic- on insulin drip/hourly testing and titration) because of this. Interestingly, as a T2, I pretty much know what I have to do to stay in control - but the highest my BS ever was, was the day my daughter had surgery-very stressful- I had not ingested one morsel of food- yet my BS was over 300! One thing exercise does is help manage cortisol levels and the stress response we have (neurotransmitters too). It also lowers insulin resistance. I really hate to exercise frankly, but I have good results when I do. [/QUOTE]
