Is it possible to get diabetes from anger?

Interesting but...: Although there is no known association of what you are asking, i've learned in medicine, never say never. Perhaps anger can increase stress hormones (cortisol) and cortisol does increase blood sugar. It's a bit of a stretch but certainly in the realm of possibility.

Stress releases...: Hormones that can increase blood sugar in the genetically susceptible person, e.g.: one with family history of diabetes.
