I wonder if there’s a relationship between blood sugar, stress, and heart disease? Chronic high blood sugar as seen with diabetes is associated with a greatly increased risk for coronary artery disease and peripheral vascular disease. A person who is stressed out all the time is probably inclined to have high blood sugar, as well as high blood pressure, and high cortisol levels, and high adrenaline levels, and high testosterone levels.

Some researchers say that stress can raise your body’s level of cortisol, a steroid hormone. And problems arise when you have excess cortisol over time.

Dietary supplements can clean you up to an extent.
