Hi everyone

As a few people know on here i have been dieting trying to lose wieght and get my bs down well today i didnt fancy anything to eat untill about 2 oclock,I had weighter watchers tomato soup and two pieces of wieght watchers brown bread,so i thought i will just take my bs before i eat and i just couldnt belive it was 22.5 what the hell is all that about??

I have had some really stressfull news the last couple of days(my 16yr old pregnant) which has had me crying and worried not sleeping but im so sure stress cant put your bs up(how can it) i feel fine in myself not tired or anything like that so what should i do god knows what me bs will be when i take it two hours later

Love debi xx

sorry to read that you are stressed. As the mother of a daughter[now 30 and safely married], I can empathise with your worry.
Yes Stress CAN put your BG up. In addition, if you don't eat breakfast, your liver will tend to generate some glucose for your blood.[ this happens in non-diabetics too]It's called Dawn Phenomenonand it's rather unpredictable. It's possibly designed to enable you to get up and go hunting after a nighttime fast. They say "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day" and it certainly is.

Hi debi

I know that stress can cause high sugars or low sugar levels (low especially in Type 1), everybody reacts differently, probably the reason you id'nt feel like anything to eat till later in the day was because your sugar levels were high. I know if ever my sugar levels are high i don't feel hungry at all. Stress or worry can affect diabetes in funny ways even when you think you feel ok, your sugar levels can show a different story. I know its easier said than done for anyone to say try not to stress or worry but if you can try to relax have a bit of ME time it may help.

Good Luck
