Possibly: Stress can contribute to many disorders, including higher blood sugars, but the most common causes are being overweight, poor diet, family history, lack of exercise, and some medications that raise sugars. Unless you have a way of eliminating stress (usually not possible) you need to eat better, watch your weight, exercise.

Not really: Although stress isn't good for anything and can worsen a predisposition to diabetes, diabetes is more common with increasing age, positive family history, genetic (such as rate) and 70-90% related to obesity.
