Hi guys, I've recently changed my diet to high fiber and I've been doing intermittent fasting. My numbers were doing great that I fasting blood sugar ranges from 80 to 110. My BS whole day is also normal (not more than 130).

If I eat something with sugar (as sometimes I can't help it but I eat very little just to satisfy my tastebuds), my sugar goes up to 135 (which isn't bad considering).

This week, I've been in a lot of stress at work (typical deadlines, projects, issues, etc.) and some stress in my personal life too (had an argument with a special person).

Here's what I noticed -

1. Work Stress - I was in the office for a few days, I was feeling okay but there's a bit of stress. My sugar spiked to 180 on day 1. Day 2, my sugar went to 200 and my BP elevated to 150/90. Mind you, I was feeling okay. I found out bout the sugar because I have a CGM and when it was too high, I went to the office clinic to get my BP checked. I'm sure it was the office stress because when I had a 180, I hadn't eaten anything yet. My BS quickly went down to 130, down to 110 in less than 1 hr (cos I went home).
2. Personal Stress - my sugar ranged between 170 - 190 during the time I was having arguments (2 days). When things were settled, my sugar went down to normal range too.

So I guess my question is, how do you handle your stress?

I'm pretty good in compartmentalizing things and I don't get stressed easily or I don't feel it. But how can I manage it if I don't feel it. :(

I hope to learn from your experiences. :)
