Science tells us stress can lead to insulin resistance, higher blood sugar, and weight gain. Give this routine a try and see how stress is affecting your sugar levels. Each time you check your glucose levels, rate your level of stress using a 1 to 10 scale, with 1 being completely calm and 10 being the worst day of your life. Keep track of your reading and stress levels for 2 weeks -- maybe even plot them on a sheet of graph paper. Your results reveal how much your blood sugar swings in response to different levels of stress.
More on the stress/fat connection.
