A member asked:
Male 57, could stress increase blood sugar drastically?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Stress can increase sugar only slightly. It does, however, tend to worsen your compliance with your overall diabetes regimen, increase your food intake, etc.; all of which can worsen your blood sugar even more.
