We talk about that there
are four legs to the diabetes problem and this is the one we have not
really covered that is very important and may be more influential in how
it goes for you then the
physical aspects you can see and influence.
Definition : What actually is STRESS?
Anything your body perceives as dangerous to your survival can be
considered "Stress". When our body determines our welfare is
"threatened" our body gets ready to fight off and survive attacks or to
make a run from danger as fast as possible. Even body
chemicals are modified to slow bleeding in case we are wounded.
These automatically triggered chemical and physiologic bodily
reactions are called the "fight or flight" responses. Adrenaline
and Caristol are produced which raise the body's blood sugar level (to
run) our heart rate increases, our blood pressure rises, our respiration
rate increases. Blood flow to our brain is lessened and immune functions
and some digestion functions are shut down. Even blood flow to our
brain is lessoned and we make dumb decisions under stress.
Extended periods of stress (over 15 minutes) can cause headache,
high blood pressure, high blood sugar, digestion problems, irritability,
mood disorders, muscle reactions including backache.
Long term stress caused immune suppression can result in contracting
major illnesses. Fears And Anxiety Are
Stressors.
Depression can be a stressor and happy positive or unusual events can
be stressor such as a new experience with no prior experience on
file. Winning the lottery would be a great stressor or some huge
success or sudden popularity. A wedding, death of a relationship,
loss of a family member, being cut off on the highway, fear of a new
job, loss of job, damage to career etc.
Important to Diabetes
When things in your life go awry, take extra measurements of your blood
glucose levels to learn the effects of this current stressor on your
diabetes.
What is going on in your life emotionally may have more affect on the
diabetes progression and blood glucose levels for example then even your
diet.
Let us take as an example, you have an argument with
your landlord or some silly thing and you are being threatened with
having to leave where you are living. Let us say it is totally without
any legitimate basis and you are terribly upset because of he whole
misunderstanding life is not going well.
That is an example of stress. Your body is getting this mental
message but it does not know that it is not stress from a whole group of
brown bears in the woods that are thinking of ganging up and attacking
you. So your heart rate is up and your blood pressure is way up as a
result of this stress. What you may not realize is that your blood
glucose is now sky high and you can not figure out why, You
never ate anything to make it go up like that? This
combination of bad bodily reactions that happen automatically right
along with emotional reactions to what is going on in your life.You
can take steps to get this settled with your landlord, as it is
affecting your health to let it go on. In addition you
learn how to shut off these body alert alarm reactions nature has turned
on because it perceived you as being in danger and needed to be ready to
run or fight. This is learning how to negate the affect of
stress and we wont get the job done in this issue, but do call it to
your attention.
We will be taking up on how you learn to deal with and handle the
negative affect of stress on your diabetes progression and control.
Just as you learn to control the affects of diet, you can learn how
to get your body to disregard or at least not "over react" to stress in
your life and make your diabetic condition and progression far worse
then it needs to be.
