Yes, stress can affect your glucose levels, as can not sleeping well, which is one of my biggest problems.

My dad is suffering with the same problem too. He’s been diabetic at quite a young age. So I’m aware about the pains you might be experiencing everytime your blood sugar goes high. Just curious, did I read and understand it right? Stress can affect your blood sugar?

Thanks Yan. Actually, no pain, just drastic fear every once in awhile of how my body is reacting and my feeling like I have no control.

I thought about starting a diabetes blog, but there’s a lot of other people writing about it, and the only people reading are other diabetics. I think it helps others if I write about it every once in awhile here, as it’s one of the fastest growing problems in the world for everyone.

Sorry to hear what happened, Mitch. I guess I will never understand the pain associated with it.

Hope all is well and if time permits, start a niche blog on diabetes and share your experience where others could benefit from it.

Just a thought!

Yan

Like I used to tell my mother, if you have a positive mindset it won’t ever set you back too far. Just concentrate on living your life on purpose and take action when necessary to be in as much control as possible.

P.S. I’ve made the changes you suggested. Thanks.

Thanks Gooroo. I’m fine; got everything balanced once again. Just have to be more cognizant, and my wife says the same, since she gave me the big cookie in the first place. I’ll almost never turn down a cookie.

Hi Gryfino. I hope your friends are young, and at some point can figure out how to turn it around. I’ll say that it’s not easy, and though I’m a better eater than I used to be, obviously there are still those lessons that I need to learn and continue following more often.

Thanks Andrew. You know, I do have some bad days, and it’s weird because I’ve found that I can eat the same exact thing every day at the same exact time, and the numbers won’t be the same. They can be better, though, and during the week, they are better, which tells me I might need to decide not to take all that many weekends off anymore. I’m sorry to hear about your mother going through this mess also.

Thanks Trey. You know, though, I really do need to be better, and had I been better when I was young and knew it ran in the family, I might not be dealing with some of this stuff now. I know that if my parents had known it ran in the family when I was younger that we’d have eaten way differently than I do now. Turned out no one else in the family mentioned they had it until Dad got it and told everyone. Then everyone else stepped forward; that’s old school families for you.

Mitch,

I hope you feel better within the next few days. I have had quite a few friends who had diabetes, and I see exactly what they go through. You’re a strong individual!
