@typeonestyle: Some days, your blood sugars just won’t listen. 🩸🫠 You counted the carbs. You took your usual dose. You did everything the same as yesterday. But your levels are climbing anyway. Sometimes, stress is part of the reason. When you’re stressed, overwhelmed, anxious or running on too little sleep, your body can release more cortisol. Cortisol is one of the hormones that helps your body respond to stress, and it can also signal your body to release more glucose into your bloodstream. For someone with T1D, that can mean watching your levels rise even when you feel like you’ve done everything “right”. And that’s the exhausting part. T1D doesn’t exist separately from the rest of your life. 🤍 A stressful day at work. An argument. An exam. A sleepless night. Feeling anxious. Being ill. Even the stress you feel because your levels won’t come down. It can all become part of the equation. So when a graph doesn’t look how you hoped it would, remember that numbers don’t tell the full story. You’re managing a condition affected by food, movement, sleep, hormones, stress and countless other factors, while still trying to live your actual life. That deserves a little more self-compassion. 🫶 #TypeOneDiabetes #T1D #T1DCommunity #DiabetesAwareness #T1DLife
