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!

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!

I know people who neede diabetees to make them realise that maybe looking at what you’re eating is a good idea. Most of my friends eat whatever they can get their hands on.

Hi Mitch, thought I’d stop by to say thanks after reading your comment on my blog (I’ve replied to it) and I noticed this post.

What can I say that you don’t already know or haven’t heard before?

My mother was diagnosed with diabetes very late in life and I helped her to manage it up until she passed a few years back. I can somewhat relate to what your dealing with from the experience with my mum.

It sounds to me like, even though you have your no so good days, you know exactly how to handle your situation with your clear understanding of your body and your treatment.

I hope you have your glucose levels back to a normal and manageable level soon and wish you all the best of health for the future.

Hi Mitch. Even though I have been around diabetics before, and know what they go through, your story was inspiring. Inspiring in the sense that we should all be more aware of how we take care of our bodies, and what we put into it. We shouldn’t have to wait until we have diabetes to understand that there’s a cause and effect relationship between our food, our activities, and our health.

I am glad that you are familiar enough with the way that your body works to know the warning signs, and to take care of yourself.

It’s a good thing to do, Jake, especially if you have family history. I knew I was going to be diabetic because it ran in the family; I just never really thought I’d get it as soon as I did.

Good day today, though; full control.

I have family and friends that are diabetics but never really heard or read an experience like that and how things play out… I can’t imagine how it feels to have to struggle with that daily!

Having anxiety problems and taking meds for those and because of family history, I get my blood work done every 6 months so hopefully if that problem ever arises, it’ll show up and I can get it under control quickly!
