Can your sugar level go up if you are stressed out ??!


Question:

Can your sugar level go up if you are stressed out ??


Answers:

Yes. Stress causes the body to prepare for fight or flight. One part of that process is releasing stored energy from the liver (glycogen which, when released, becomes glucose) into the bloodstream. Infections and injuries can also cause increased blood glucose levels for much the same reason, to fight infection and rebuild tissues.
