Diabetes and stress

Good morning,

I write to see if someone happens to someone.

During the week with the mess of work (I am a teacher) my sugar levels tend to rise and it is difficult to lower them.

I blame stress, because then the weekend arrives and the levels are ideal or even some hypoglycemia as another, with the same insulin units.Anyone who advises me to do?

Because I have tried to climb the toujeo during the week and lower it the weekend, but it does not give time to readjust logically and it is worse because I get more out of control.

Thank you.

Well that is the problem of many jobs .., maybe with a bomb you can control more.The truth is that it is a job that can become very stressful. Me the doctor prescribed me reassuns, because I get the tension., I am not diabetic, but half orphidal is very good for me.

@Regina The tranquilizers such as the orfidal (Lorazepam) relax you but I assure you that this relaxation will not make you lower the glucose.You can have the nervous system very relaxed but the adrenaline continues to act and the glucose rising.-

@Canti_ara The only advice is that you adjust breakfast (low or void glycemic index) and insulin to reach the best possible and if stress makes its effect it is less.-

Thanks @regina @sigsauer.The tranquilizers do not work for me to lower the glucose.They only get me more grogui and goes slower hahaha
As for breakfast, I have it super controlled and rare is the time I have it high after, only that in mid -morning it is already beginning to resist, but the only solution I see is to adjust with fast insulin and take things easy.Well, and sport, which always helps.Thank you:)

Hello very good.If you have the possibility of moving to insulin bomb, it is much better because you can put different patterns.In addition to adjusting the dose much better.Greetings

@"Canti_ara" in addition to the advice you have already given you ... I recommend that you read this issue, I hope it helps you, and that you can better control glucose soon !!;)

Stress (stress) and diabetes
Stress occurs when something causes the body to act as if they were attacking it.Stress sources can be physical, such as injuries or diseases, or they can be mental, such as problems with their marria...

Hello, the same thing happens to my son, but he as a student and the doctor who Valeriana told me, I thought that was not and my surprise was that when he takes it, he is ideal, proves in case Acafo

Hello.I think it is a generalized problem.My partner always tells me that I was born to be rich and not work.When I'm on vacation, my levels are perfect.When I work, a disaster.They have also tried with me to give reassuns that, the truth, they were of no use so I stopped taking them.For me, the only thing that serves is to have the quick ball on the table and how I have the free I am measuring.When I see that it begins to rise, without meaning, without having eaten, I put on half unity (that for recent have prescribed the junior because I have a high sensitivity to insulin).And in an attempt that I don't go beyond 250 ... but stress is horrible.I believe that neither with a bomb can be solved, just like scares, sorrows, nerves ...

Well, nothing left to pull Valeriana, my son is doing well.

Thank you all for the advice!

Good @"canti_ara",

First of all, tell you that being a teacher demands a lot at the mental level and that the level of stress significantly affects blood sugar.A situation similar to yours happened to me a couple of years and I will not tell you any "miracle" or anything like that, since the only way to control stress is by balance of all the facets of yourlife.

In my case, I suffered a great pressure at work to which he added that I also studied in the afternoon, with all that that entails (meals to undone, neglect the level of sugar, be on continuous alert ...) I solved itWhen I finished the course study and decide to change patterns in my life.I still study but marking other rhythms and what changed me most was what I titled "My day" that day was on Sundays and I dedicated myself to taking care of myself both physically and mentally, the latter helped me start the week freed from stress and stress andstrongly.I do not know if it will help you what I am telling you, but the only thing I can tell you is that I encourage and remember the key word is "balance."

Thanks @iprogel.That balance is what I am looking for.I try to take care of myself and get even half an hour a day to do sports that improves me both mentally and physically.Not stressing too much at work is more difficult but I will get it.Thank you, it relieves listening to people who are or has been in the same situation.

Hi Canti_ara,

I am also a teacher, and diabetics 1 for less than 4 months.The same thing happens to you, the weekend well or very well, and as soon as Monday comes (same breakfast, the same amount of insulin) gets out of control.In the middle of the week it begins to be "something" better ... I attribute it to stress, but I don't know ...

It seems that I do well with the exercise.On Sunday I try to do a little more exercise than normal, the rest of the day at least the minimum (30m) and from there I go up or not, as I find myself.Today I do not count, I am cold, but the last weeks I have been something better.And I have also become accustomed in the recess to go for 15 minutes to walk.You know we can't always, and I notice much.

I do not know if it will help you, I am not who to advise anything, I am in full rehearsal-error right now, and I have too little to draw conclusions.At the moment my best weapon to handle stress is exercise and sleep.I will be pending to the post.

Greetings and thanks for sharing your problem.I look very very reflected.

Maybe it is good to increase a slow unit for the week and lower it

Thanks @"Magdaneni" @"Regina".Increasing slowly during the week and lowering it is a mess, because it doesn't even give time to readjust and I start the week badly.
Physical exercise is what best for me @"magdaneni", even 4 days a week I do sports.Anyway, anything is telling me to see if you think of other options.And encourage that little by little you will get used to, some lead almost a lifetime with this.Muak

Hello @"Canti_ara".I am also a teacher and I do not know if it is stress or simply the continuous mess, above, down, the concentration you need to give classes in conditions ... the fact is that I also notice much difference between the school days and the periods ofvacation.
In my case, not always up.The problem is that I am with much more unstable figures.When I have a lot of Jaleo, I get low to the food or have peaks in the middle of the morning ... it depends on the day.
This summer has been magnificent.Values ​​between 90 and 140 continuously, without sudden changes.But September and back has been arriving.
But let's see, work you have to work.

Already ... @"Vicky Bush" work we have to work.His thing is trying to control it by taking things calmly and relaxing as much as possible.Thanks for your comment.Help see that there are people in the same situation.
