Stress and BG

Can stress cause a spontaneous increase in BG. I left the house this AM and
got caught up in the morning traffic. Within a few minutes I was filling
sick, pulled over and checked my BG again. It had shot up 60 pts. I had had
a not carb breakfast this morning.

It can, although that's a bit more of a jump than I recall
being reported here before. What was your "not carb"
breakfast, and was the pre- reading of the +60 before or
after eating?

I've had my bg go up or down by much more than 60 points in a half
hour with no explanation at all. I could try to invoke stress in some
cases but I just don't know because there are many other reasons it
can happen too.

And I report (well, maybe a more relevant word is "complain" or
"gripe") this all the time here. Maybe you've got me killfiled so you
don't see :-).

Of course I don't have you killfiled Tim; why would I? You
and I have always been civil as best I can remember.

I must admit I took the query as a type 2 query because
Jimmy is type 2. Different condition to yours.

I don't attempt to be able to understand - or offer advice
on - the dramatic variations in BG's you type 1's go
through. All I can offer there is sympathy.

I've never had my BG's jump 3mmo/l(54mg/dl) or more without
the spike being preceded by a high carb load.

My apologies Alan, you're right, you've always had very thoughtful
balanced responses to me, I shouldn't be taking my frustrations out on
you (or others for that matter). Maybe in my case there's a different
causation: wacky bg's causing me to fly off the handle. Still not a
good excuse!

At bedtime last night, I was at 105, a pretty good place to be at.
Woke up at 6AM, I was at 384. Not an excuse, but maybe a gripe if
you're willing to hear me repeat the same gripe! I had been doing so
well overnight for the whole week before, numbers on waking up mostly
in the 70-140 range except for one more-than-mild hypo.

Yep. But so can eating no carbs. It's not always a wise thing to cut out
carbs totally. Other things that can affect BG are illness, hormonal levels
and the use of certain meds.

poached egg, canadian bacon coffee black with equal

106 before breakfast, 92 when I went to bed.

Typically I do not see any significant change in my bg with this breakfast

This AM had been very stressful.

Exercise stress can also raise the bg quite a bit.

Hey, Tim, you've got a right to gripe. Heck if my BG went from 105 to
384 overnight, I'd gripe too! I just feel bad that I don't have any
insights, words of wisdom, or anything else to offer that addresses
the situation. And I certainly wouldn't be surprised if the change in
BG itself made you feel a bit cranky.

That's true too. Next time I won't reply until I've gotten my caffeine in

BUT.....nobody should take this as a warning not to exercise!
The rise is transient & overall the exercise is good for your bg.

And it doesn't always raise BG. Didn't used to for me. Now it seems to.

Really, I havent had that problem and I exercise a lot. I am begining to
think diabetes has a different set of symptoms for everybody.

Mine varies. *Usually* it goes way up from a race, but not always (maybe I
wasn't trying hard enough those times!?). *Usually* it doesn't go up, or not
much, or goes down a bit & occasionally way down, from a training run.
*Sometimes* it drops faster after a race than other times. Totally
unpredictable. But at least I don't have *bg* problems during even my longer
runs.

I've quit worrying about it. However, I don't scarf up the goodies after a
race until my bg has gone down some -- I just tuck it in a pocket (if I
don't snatch it fairly soon, it'll be gone, & sometimes I'm lucky there's a
choice left, considering how far back I finish).

This behavior hasn't changed much even as I've moved from d&e to Prandin to
Januvia.

sometimes it does.

Diabetes is one diease that when correctly managed is done so by
custom tailoring diet, exercise and med's(when/if needed) to the
individual. Not the individual to a general or generic approach.

I think the metabolic (including bg) response to acute emotional stress is
an individual thing, rather than being something that characterizes DM.
There are definitely some DM people who experience a sharp rise in bg when
extremely anxious. There was even a theory (Hinkle, I think) that DM is a
disease of maladaption of the response to such stress--that anxiety
inappropriately created the same physiological response as starvation. I
don't think many people took that theory seriously, but it was based on data
showing rises in bg in some DM folks when under stress.

Although a type 1, Bernstein (author of Diabetes Solution book), comments in
his book that when he did some TV appearances to discuss diabetes, his bg
rose between 75 and 100 mg/dl at each session.

Could be a combo of both. I personally need some carbs at breakfast to turn
off the dawn phenomenon, YMMV.

Your doctor hasn't discussed Somogyi effect with you? From what i have seen
other type 1's report, that kind of rise could be a couple of things,
including incorrect basal amount and Somogyi effect.

It does for me if I don't have something small to eat. For example, because
I am doing my major exercise before breakfast I need to have some tomato
juice. Otherwise my bg is very high when I get home. If I had stress after a
no carb breakfast I could see my bg's going high also. The only time I don't
eat before any kind of exercise is when I am doing weights. I do them as far
away from the previous meal as possible.

Yep; as I said I can only sympathise. I can't recall any
T2's going through anything like that variation overnight.

Thanks for the response. Obviously stress does affect you.

Yep! Like I've said before, there are over 300 variations of diabetes yet
most of us are lumped together as type 1, type 2, or GD. You're also newly
diagnosed. Just wait. Things will change.

Whilst my liver was dumping, exercise in the morning, before about
11am, was just not possible for me. I could double my bg at the drop
of a hat. I just shifted my exercise pattern to after supper. Works
well for me.

I exercise at various times.

For races, obviously I do it when it's happening, whether it's 7am or 7pm. I
work my eating around whatever event I'm doing & the driving time to get
there. I don't worry too much about bg going high, it'll come down later,
but I do make sure to be adequately fuelled before the start.

My body prefers exercise about 5pm -- by then it's loosened up enough, I'm
mentally geared up enough, etc. But in hot weather I try to get out by mid
morning because of conditions -- otherwise it's 90+ out & possibly humid as
well, no fun for running! Sometimes "scheduling problems" makes it necessary
to run at a particular time whether I want to or not -- or skip it
altogether. When they start scraping my bedroom windows in a week or two,
I'll probably be out early to delay the headache development!

Well I have found I do have that problem if I dont keep moving after
exercise. I went back and just crashed on the couch today and Checked my BG
about an hr latter and it had shot up to 144. I waited an hr and it went
back down to 95. Interesting

They're doing lead abatement on all the exterior wordwork on my building.
They've done about 3/4 & just have the front to do -- which is where my
bedroom windows are. The scraping & screeching (from the scraper-sharpener,
I think) when they did the side were....pretty awful.

Wow! It's making my teeth itch reading about it - I hope they get it
over with quickly!
