Hi sorry if there is answer somewhere i can't seem to find it.
I have type 2 diabetes i am still struggling with medication not agreeing with me at the moment i am on Glimepiride i was also on metphormin but was so ill with it , my bloods have been really good the past couple of weeks down to 9.1-9.11 but the past 3 days have had really bad stress and have noticed my diet is same nothing changed but my bloods have got back in to double numbers 15 16.9 9.11 lowest at moment just wondering as everything is the same apart from the added stress if this has give my body some sort of kick to rise bloods.
Thank you for looking Tina x
 
Hi Tina, yes I believe BG levels can be affected by stress. I think it may have something to do with a hormone released when we are stressed out. Maybe a more experienced member can clarify why.
