Emotions can have an effect on blood glucose, and some patients can experience a greater effect on blood glucose during mood swings.
Changes in one’s mood, such as tension, anger, anxiety, etc., may have a certain effect on blood glucose concentration, and may affect neuroendocrine function, affecting the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenocortical function axis as well as the sympathetic medulla system, which in turn causes an increase in the secretion of glucagon hormones, such as glucagon, glucocorticoids, and catecholamines, which can lead to blood glucose elevation.
In daily life, both diabetic patients and normal people are recommended to maintain a good mood to avoid emotional fluctuations that may adversely affect blood glucose. Patients with abnormal blood glucose values are advised to go to the hospital and ask the doctor to make a judgment.
