So I never have any physical issues with my health really, but since it's the season, I ended up getting some sort of viral throat infection and was in the ER a few nights ago. I'm fine now, but when they did the blood tests, they told me that my blood sugar was high. About 163 I think he said? Anyway..Can being sick raise your blood sugar? The doctor also said that stress can? How long does it take to develop diabetes and is there a chance that it could have been high like this just this once? I have no family history of diabetes, but I'm pretty scared anyway.

Absolutely. Being sick does raise your blood sugar. Talk to your doctor about the questions you have. If your doctor is on the ball, he will be following this up and checking your blood sugar level when you are healthy to deal with the concerns you have. YOu can also talk to a rep from the diabetes society. They can answer your questions as well.

Any stress on the body can temporarily raise your blood sugar. Basically that is how the body deals with stress. Being sick is a form of stress on the body. If you have no family history you probably don't have anything to worry about. You may want to check your blood sugar after you feel better to see if it is normal. If you know someone who is diabetic you may want to ask them to check it for you.

Being a Non-Medical man, I think with numbers like that you should be concered. Ninety-nine up to one-hundred is a good range.(so I've been told.) I have diabetes in the family line and could be a canidate (never can tell about the future.) I keep track of my blood sugar plus eating good and exercising. I kept a record of the blood pressure. The whole being physcially ill business is a good question. I suggest you speak with your Doctor about such business and if you have any bad habits (booze, cigarettes, and heavy junkfood. get out that quick. Plus keep watch of salt intake.)

Yes, stress (such as illness) makes you more insulin resistant and therefore blood sugar runs higher.
