Re: Diabetes and Stress?

Kumar: I'm not going though 102 threads on this. I can only say that
more likely "marathon stress" and "emotional stress" are totally
different so far as diabetes is concerned. More specifically as a
diabetic ...running a marathon vs emotional domestic stress ... I bet
the marathon stress was better for you IF you have done both.

I think modrate stress, physical or mental is beneficial whereas
excessive may be harmful. Modrate physical excercise may relax whereas
excessive can contract your muscles.

Kumar: Lately I have been thinking about stress during the sleeping
cycle and how it affects fbg levels. I am of the strong oppinion that
cortisol stimulation during sleep really place a big roll over and
above an "abnormal" dawn effect that diabetics frequently have. Chronic
alcohol intake is the culprit.

During midnight cortosol levels are minimal whereas highest between 6-8
AM, normally. Probably it suggest "rest and digest" in night and start
work( fight or flight) from start of the day. Cortisol as stress
hormone can increase glucose levels.

Yes you are correct. If you find any research information about the
influence of alcohol (wine?) on cortisol level I'd appreciate hearing
about it. I am suggesting that these levels can be elevated through out
most of the night under certain conditions hence significantly raising
fbg levels over and above diabetic fbg levels. Maybe I need to do a
scholar google on this but so far haven't seen anything about this
interesting topic.

Cortisol is one of the counter regulatory factors to insulin secretion.
Growth Hormone is another. At least in healthy young adults, alcohol
tends to reduce insulin resistance.1/ Alcohol did not influence fasting
glucose in postmenopausal women. 2/

1. Alcohol consumption and insulin resistance in young adults -
http://tinyurl.com/yglu9r "Insulin sensitivity correlated positively
with alcohol consumption and this trend remained significant allowing
for body mass index and gender. First-phase insulin secretion showed a
weak but non-significant trend in the opposite direction. Fasting
glucose, fasting insulin and glucose tolerance showed no relationships
with alcohol consumption." Articles citing this article -

2. Effects of Moderate Alcohol Intake on Fasting Insulin and Glucose
Concentrations and Insulin Sensitivity in Postmenopausal Women -
http://jama.highwire.org/cgi/content...ct/287/19/2559 "Only fasting
triglyceride concentration was significantly reduced when comparing 0
and 15 g/d of alcohol, and no difference was found between consumption
of 15 and 30 g/d of alcohol; however, there was a significant linear
trend. Fasting glucose concentrations were not different across
treatments." Articles citing this article - http://tinyurl.com/y4fh6t.

I think it is due to stress by taking excess alcohol. I could find
following:

"Alcohol can increase cortisol through a variety of mechanisms," said
Adinoff. "Alcohol directly affects many brain chemicals that signal the
adrenal glands to produce and secrete cortisol. High levels of
intoxication may be interpreted as general 'stress,' which could
stimulate cortisol release. Finally, after drinking a lot of alcohol
for a long time, the sudden stopping of drinking can produce a
stressful 'withdrawal' state, which can also increase cortisol
production."
