Newbie with a stress question
Hi, Mike, welcome to the group. There are a bunch of fantastic people here, as well as a good source of information. : )
Stress causes the body to release stress hormones, namely epinephrine and norepinephrine. These hormones are the ‘fight or flight’ response in action. Since, in the fight or flight situation the body needs extra energy to run or fight, the blood glucose goes up. It is natural to think it might go down because you are thinking more, pacing more, fiddling more, but it doesn’t…. : (
How high it goes, I have no idea. I suppose that is an individual thing, based on your metabolism and such.
I am glad you have made it through the previous management manipulations. I will keep you in my prayers it remains that way!
