In the integrated management of diabetes, attention is often focused on dietary control, routine exercise and drug treatment, yet the impact on blood sugar is often overlooked by emotional factors, especially the common emotional state of anger. In fact, anger interferes with normal metabolic and regulating mechanisms for blood sugar, with many adverse effects on the control of the condition of diabetes patients.
When an individual is in a state of anger, the body quickly activates the stress mechanism. The human synthesizing nervous system is activated with an emotional irritation, which leads to a dramatic increase in the distribution of multiple stress hormones in the body, most notably adrenaline and insulin. Adrenalin acts on liver cells, accelerates the decomposition of the liver glucose and releases large quantities of glucose into the blood; the effect is further reinforced by insulin, which co-ordinates the rapid rise of blood sugar levels in a short period of time. For diabetics, there are different levels of defects in their own blood sugar modulation, and the increase in blood sugar is often more significant and difficult to control as a result of the strong stress hormones induced by anger. The normal and more stable blood and sugar balance is broken, which may result in a significantly higher blood sugar value than normal, which not only exacerbates the condition of diabetes patients but also increases their risk of acute complications such as diabetes ketone acidosis, high blood sugar seepage, etc.
Blood sugar fluctuations due to anger are not transient, and their effects may last longer. After a period of anger, it is often difficult to quickly recover to normal levels due to the continuing effects of the hormones and the imbalance of the physical metabolic regulation mechanisms under stress. Prolonged and frequent anger causes chronic physical damage to organs and systems of the body by placing the body in a chronic state of discomfort with increased blood sugar fluctuations. The continued high blood sugar state can have a direct toxic effect on vascular inner-skin cells, leading to a decrease in vascular wall thickness and elasticity, accelerating the process of sclerosis of the aneurystic sample and significantly increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease, such as coronary heart disease and moderate brain length. At the same time, high blood sugar can damage neurofibre and cause diabetes-related neurosis in the form of body numbness, pain and reduced feelings, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients with diabetes.
As a common emotional state, the negative impact of blood sugar control on diabetes patients cannot be ignored. Diabetes patients should be fully aware of the importance of emotional management in blood sugar control and take effective responses to maintain stable levels of blood sugar, reduce the risk of diabetes complications and improve their quality of life and health.
