Is that stressful? Stress is a physical and mental reaction to the danger someone feels. This uncontrolled condition or causing emotional changes is usually considered a threat by your body. When the body and mind feel the potential threat, the body prepares to fight. Whether the threat is real or only imagined, the body still prepares you to survive by "turning on" some bodily functions while "turning off" the others.

Handling diabetes is a process that is both challenging and complicated for some people and sometimes results in stress. Excessive stress makes it difficult for a person's body to control blood sugar levels and will be harmful to health.

When a child has diabetes, the potential of a family experiences high stress. Families who have children with diabetes usually feel the stress felt by one of their families.

Can stress be dangerous?

Excessive stress when dealing with diabetes can result in:

  • Increased blood sugar levels quickly and substantially
  • Encourage the emergence of strong negative emotions
  • Damaging one's thinking and decision making
  • Triggering compulsive eating patterns

Having diabetes or not, stress that is not managed properly will have a negative effect on the body.

For example, when stressed your heart works faster and harder. Increased pulse and blood pressure cause tension in the heart, blood vessels and arteries.

Prolonged stress can have a negative impact on other body systems in your body, such as:

  • Immune system
  • Digestive system
  • Kidney system / secretion
  • Reproduction system

In addition, the ability to think clearly and make decisions will be disrupted due to stress. Fragile mentality can increase the risk of depression.
