Blood sugar levels are influenced by stress hormones such as cortisol, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. In times of stress the body needs more sugar to run, literally. When we are stressed our body goes into fight or flight mode; it is ready to run from a lion. If you are going to run from a lion, you need sugar for energy. The more stressed you are, the higher your blood sugar will spike. If you never run from the lion, you body has to store that extra sugar that your liver so kindly made for you; that storage is better known as fat. The more weight you carry, the more likely you are to develop type II Diabetes. So, stress directly effects how your body regulates blood sugar.
