Stress and Diabetes

I don't know if It's been the emotional stress of the last two days but my glucose returned to OMG 197 again. I ate healthy and resisted the urge to snack or eat relentlessly. I woke up this morning with that familiar fuzziness in my head. I lost that feeling for a week but it returned with a vengeance and I knew my glucose was elevated. Thankfully it has came down some. I haven't ate anything that would increase my glucose or even a larger amount. When the fuzziness happens I get super sleepy and my energy level in non-existent. You would think with the extra glucose floating around in my bloodstream I would be bouncing off the walls.

With Type 2 Diabetes that's not the case. If there's not enough insulin or the cells can't use the glucose because the receptors are faulty then the cells don't have fuel. Glucose is the brains fuel but with faulty receptors or not enough insulin the brain becomes sluggish especially if hyperglycemia is allowed to go on too long. Hence the fuzziness I'm experiencing.

Today I started with higher glucose and it rose during the day. I ate 0 sugar and minimal carbohydrates but it went up even with medication. Very frustrating!!!! I almost said screw it but I resisted.

The emotional stress about my M-I-L's health I was told could cause glucose to raise or stress in general. I thought they were full of s*** but it might be true.

I'm proud of the fact I was able to resist temptation. But the diabetes reminded me several ways, not to push my luck.

Oh friggen well.......
