Dr. Yesika Garcia, MD, an endocrinologist with the Medical 91��ɫ and contributor to LabFinder, explains that when we’re under stress, our bodies release hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, which signal the liver to release more glucose into the bloodstream so that we have energy to respond to the perceived threat.

“That response is helpful in short bursts, but when stress becomes chronic, it can lead to higher blood sugar levels and make the body less responsive to insulin,” Dr. Garcia says. Would you like to schedule an appointment with Dr. Garcia?
