I know it does. I am a diabetic. I got upset today and my sugar reading went from 94 to 224 before bedtime.
Can your blood sugar drop by getting upset
No
Blood sugar rises
There are two types of Diabetes, and neither one is caused directly by sugar. For type 1 diabetics, the cause is unknown, but sugar is not the cause. Research is continually being done to find the cause and cure. For type two diabetics, the lack of physical exercise and obesity are the most common causes.
Diabetics can frequently have peaks and crashes in blood sugar. Low blood sugar as well as high can cause a plethora of problems one of which being dizziness and disorientation. With a well regulated diet these shifts in blood sugar become less frequent.
3.1 - 6.9 are the normal reference ranges for a random blood sugar test
If you are speaking about blood sugar levels, or blood glucose levels, as in Diabetics, no. Studies show that ¼ teaspoon of sugar daily helps keep blood sugar levels under control for certain diabetics. It works for me.
Glucagon, yes. Cortisol, probably not. Glucagon raises blood sugar. Many type one diabetics own glucagon injectors, so that when their blood sugar goes too low they (or someone with them) can inject them with glucagon. Cortisol does raise blood sugar, but it is not used to raise blood sugar. It's used to treat many other diseases, but not the low blood sugar which type 1 diabetics sometimes get.
Great choices for diabetics are whole wheat pastas, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. These foods do not cause as high of a blood sugar spike as others, so they are safer for diabetics.
No, but beware of the blood pressure over time
Yes, both types are recommended to check blood sugar daily.
No, salt has nothing to do with blood sugar control.
The reason being, steroid use over long periods of time can promote the increase of blood sugar.
No, in fact they have to eat a certain amount to help maintain blood sugar level.
