Everyone experiences stress in their lives - economy related, emotional,
physical and occupational.This stress not only triggers a spike in our sugar level, but also can result in more serious illness.
So how does stress cause an increase in blood sugar?
Stress results in overproduction of Cortisol, a hormone that
counteracts the effect of insulin and results in elevated blood sugar.
If you cannot deal with stress, you will even have a harder time trying
to keep your blood sugar levels balanced.
People with diabetes may be additionally stressed from trying to cope
with the disease. Daily stress can interfere with the management
of diabetes and make it difficult to control our blood sugar.
Practising Yoga and Pranayama daily goes a long way in helping a person to de-stress and thus regulate blood sugar.
