Thanks, this is interesting information & it and makes perfect sense.
Diabetes or no diabetes however -- I am certainly feeling a little stressed at the moment.
Have a lovely weekend all in this beautiful sunshine

I found this on" how stress effects diabetes", which looks fairly reputable
http://www.diabetes.org/living-with-diabetes/complications/stress.html
Scientists have studied the effects of stress on glucose levels in animals and people. Diabetic mice under physical or mental stress have elevated glucose levels. The effects in people with type 1 diabetes are more mixed. While most people's glucose levels go up with mental stress, others' glucose levels can go down. In people with type 2 diabetes, mental stress often raises blood glucose levels. Physical stress, such as illness or injury, causes higher blood glucose levels in people with either type of diabetes.
I am still uncertain as to what adjustments I would suggest to management. Permitting a higher than average level of sickness absence?
Cheers
Diane
