Stress can cause your blood sugars to rise. The body’s stress response is the same as the “fight or flight” response. This means that when you are stressed, your body gets prepared to engage in a physical altercation or get out of the area fast! If you have type 1 diabetes, your body isn’t making any of its own insulin but your body can still flood itself with glucagon (sugar stored in the liver) and adrenaline.
