It happened because when we are stressed, your body will adjust. This adjustment effort will lead to more rapid heartbeat, and shortness of breath. Blood sugar had jumped the bandwagon.

“Under the pressure of stress, our bodies will be in fight mode, or let that blood sugar will rise as a form of preparation for this condition,” said Richard Surwit, PhD, author of The Mind Body Diabetes Revolution, which quoted kompas.com.

Basically, the stress hormones in our bodies are designed only to deal with stressful situations those are temporary, such as traffic, deal with employment tests, or to meet future in-laws, for example.

Unfortunately, most of the stress we experience chronic, long settled. Call it a job that requires long hours every day, or must care for a sick parent.

As a result, stress hormones such as predators were going to have to endure long periods of time. Blood sugar was forced to constantly adjust to these conditions.

For people with diabetes, increased blood sugar is a problem itself since they cannot produce the extra insulin to keep blood sugar.
