Question:
i was wondering how others on the group deal with stress and its
effect on BG levels.
i am going thru a difficult period of time right now and my BG levels
have gone up.
normally i am able to control my BG levels with diet and exercise,
but, since this stressfull period started (about 3-4 weeks ago) things
have started go slightly awry.
i have reduced my carb intake, but do not think this is a good idea.
Answer:
I'm also going through a hell of time right now. To reduce the stress
I'm having, I increase the amount of exercise and I also add yoga and
tai chi. Low carb diet helps me maintain a good glucose level, however
it has no effect on stress. When I'm too stress-out, my glucose will
also raise no matter what I eat. Good luck and take care your health.
When you are stressed you need more B vitamins. Lowering the
carb may help with the bg's but you are also lowering the B
vitamins in food. I eat brewer's yeast mixed with a bit of
yoghurt, strawberries and splenda blended together every
day.
