Does stress cause your blood sugar to go up?
Does stress cause your blood sugar to go up?
htmASKTHEDOCstressbloodsugardiabetes

Absolutely. If you have diabetes, stress can increase your blood sugar. A severe psychological stress or any significant physical stress (such as a heart attack, burn, infection, pain or surgery) can raise the blood sugar. It does so by increasing the activity of two body hormones — cortisol and epinephrine.

Answered questions from the past 2 years:
.
Does stress cause your blood sugar to go up?
.
My 81-year-old husband has been diagnosed with an abdominal aortic aneurysm that’s 5.2 centimeters wide. His doctors say there’s a magic number at which surgery is done, but I’m questioning why they can’t do something sooner. My husband is generally in good health, so he shouldn’t be a poor candidate for surgery.
.
My daughter has schizophrenia. The psychiatrist at her mental health center prescribed an antipsychotic drug. I know some of these drugs increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease. What sort of clinical monitoring do you advise?
.
I’ve tried to quit smoking three times. A friend suggested that instead of giving cigarettes up all at once that I try to kick the habit gradually. Which method is best?
.
I am a 62-year-old male. For the past two years, I get up to urinate about three times a night. My doctor says my prostate gland is not enlarged? What could be wrong?
.
I have been treated for genital warts around my cervix. What is the type of condom to use to protect my partner – a female condom or a regular condom?
.
My husband is getting severe back spasms in his lower back, possibly as a result of twisting wrong while doing sit-ups. He is getting no relief from ibuprofen. Is there an over-the-counter alternative?
.
I am a 52-year-old man. When I finish urinating, I drip much more then I used to. And I have a stinging sensation in my urethra. I have had the same partner for 32 years so I don’t think it’s a sexually transmitted disease (STD). What might cause this?
.
Does exercise help you keep your memory?
.
I do computer work, so most of my day is spent sitting. Over the past few months, I have been noticing a small bump just around my anus. There’s no pain or itching. And it’s not inside the anal area. It seems to get filled with blood when I put more pressure while using the toilet. It’s almost like swollen skin — very soft, without any hardness. What could this be? Are there any home remedies?
