🎄 Holidays Are Stressful. And Stress Spikes Blood Sugar.
So… what’s your plan?
Let’s be clear: Stress is not just mental. It’s biological. It directly impacts cortisol levels, which can spike blood sugar—even when you’re eating “perfectly.”
This is why during the holidays, I coach clients to:
✅ Time-limit stressful events – You don’t need to stay for 5 hours. Set a boundary and keep it.
✅ Pre-schedule decompression time – Walks, breathwork, a quiet coffee alone in the morning. It matters.
✅ Move your body – Even 10 minutes of movement can shift blood sugar and stress hormones.
✅ Breathe before you walk in – Slow, deep breathing calms the nervous system. It’s not fluff—it’s functional.
✅ Say no when you need to – Your blood sugar doesn’t care if Aunt Karen’s feelings are hurt.
This time of year isn’t easy for everyone. But remember:
👉 If stress is a driver of your elevated blood sugar… managing stress IS managing your diabetes.
Put yourself first. Not because it’s selfish—but because it’s necessary. Your body is listening. And blood sugar doesn’t care if it’s the holidays.
