A member asked:
I was especially emotionally stressed when the doctor checked my blood glucose level (am non-diabetic). did stress help to raise blood glucose level?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Of course: stress definitely will raise blood sugar, and can raise blood pressure. that is why one reading does not make anybody diabetic, there is a series of test that will confirmed if there is diabetes involved or not.
