Frequently asked question: What is the effect of stress on diabetes?

There are many kinds of stress that your body can experience, for example, physical stress (like playing sports, growth), mental stress (like school exams) and emotional stress (like fear, worry, anxiety). Children experience stress just like adults do, but their bodies often use more energy to cope with these kinds of stress. This means that your blood sugar levels and your insulin requirements need to change accordingly. Fortunately, you can learn how to take this into account. In time, when you exercise, cycle to school or have exams, for example, you will learn to better recognize how your body responds to that kind of physical and mental stress.
