Metabolic damage occurs when our body’s metabolism (essentially how our bodies utilize energy) has adjusted into “survival mode” from periods of intense restriction, exercise, and/or stress. It’s actually better described as ‘metabolic acclimation’ because it has acclimated or gotten used to the new ‘norm’ of energy utilization it is experiencing. Research has continually shown that emotional stress can cause blood sugar to surge and because consistent management of blood sugar is the key to living a healthy life with type 2 diabetes, it’s important to understand how stress affects you and to find healthy ways to cope when mental distress mounts. When chronically heightened, cortisol works against glucose control even in people who don’t have diabetes. Yet people with diabetes are unable to properly process and store that glucose because of insulin resistance, meaning that glucose accumulates even more in their blood in times of stress.
