What to watch with Glukose and stress?

The interaction between glucose and stress is complex. Stress raises blood sugar via cortisol and adrenaline; chronic stress can promote insulin resistance and diabetes risk. Genetic variants in genes like BDNF (stress-related eating) or MC4R (appetite regulation) may modulate individual responses, but effects are small. Practical advice: monitor glucose spikes after stressful events, prioritize sleep, exercise, and relaxation. A continuous glucose monitor (CGM) can help identify patterns. Caveat: This is not a diagnosis; consult a doctor for abnormal values. Evidence is mostly mechanistic and observational, not from large trials.
