Let’s Get Moving… No Excuse for Not Exercising.
During this “time of covid 19” many patients have decreased their activity level. Even those who never exercised, at least they were getting into their cars, stepping out of their cars to go to work, or just to go anywhere. Now we have become much more reserved about where we are going and truthfully we are choosing to stay home watching TV, rather than walking in the mall (no guilt about watching ...

Impact of Stress on Blood Glucose Levels
I still get surprised when patients get surprised when I tell them that stress and emotions can affect their blood sugars. In most cases it will raise the blood sugars, but occasionally it may drop them. Remember the stress hormone is cortisol.
