People are saying that stress will raise the blood sugar levels, but that is for them, not necessarily for everyone. For me, stress can make my blood sugars go either way: high or low, raise or lower it. And the same stressor at different times will do something different. So, I never know what it is going to do for me until it happens. That's why I watch my blood sugar closely, especially when I am stressed or sick. I normally test about 4-6 times a day; more when stressed or sick.
Exercise is supposed to lower the blood sugar, but it raises it with me, at least right away. Then in about an hour or so after done exercising, it lowers considerably.

Stress and illness both increase blood sugar levels.

Stress will elevate the sugar level...no doubt. You have to control your stress by doing regular excercise and stay away from stressful problems....

Continuous high levels of stress have been proven to induce true diabetes in adults. the pancreas is damaged by stress. Also , lack of quality sleep does it as well.
