Anger and stress can affect blood sugar levels in diabetes patients, but direct scientific research has not found a link between stress-related conditions and diabetes. Treatment for diabetes and anger includes stress and anger management techniques, such as muscle relaxation and behavioral therapies. A study found that instances of type A diabetes and anger-related behaviors were higher in diabetic patients than in non-diabetic patients.
A direct link between diabetes and anger has been theorized leading to problems with regulating the levels of sugar that pass through the body’s blood. Anger is also a common feeling for people diagnosed with the stress-related medical condition that often affects people with diabetes. Direct scientific research has failed to provide a direct link between stress-related conditions, such as anger leading to diabetes.
The hormones within the body used to regulate blood glucose levels are the same ones used to regulate stress levels which lead to feelings including anger and depression. This is especially true in the case of type 2 diabetes where the body fails to transport the insulin produced in the pancreas around the body despite the correct amount of insulin being produced to transport the glucose from the blood to the body’s cells. During times of high anger levels, hormones that affect blood sugar levels are overstimulated and can increase or decrease insulin production and transportation of the chemical around the body.
Treatments for diabetes and anger have been developed to use stress and anger management techniques to keep insulin production levels in balance and the movement of glucose around the body. Included in the types of treatments used in anger management to control diabetes are muscle relaxation and behavioral therapies aimed at clearing negative thoughts and emotions from the mind and body. The recommended treatments are intended to be used as supplemental therapies in conjunction with traditional diabetes treatments, including insulin supplements.
Diagnosing a person with diabetes often leads to bouts of anger and depression directed at the medical condition and the perceived unfairness of the diagnosis. During times of anger, a diabetic patient often finds it difficult to maintain a diet or exercise program designed to help them cope with a diabetes diagnosis. Diabetes and rabies are also linked to problems involving disrupted drug taking patterns which can lead to problems with maintaining proper blood sugar balance in the human body.
A study completed by Kuwait University found that instances of type A diabetes and anger-related behaviors were higher in diabetic patients than in non-diabetic patients. Anger-related behavior was also found to be higher in patients with type 1 diabetes than in type 2 diabetes. It has been difficult to demonstrate the link between the use of behavioral therapies and maintenance of blood sugar levels when used in combination with traditional diabetes treatments.
