1. The foods you eat- Your blood glucose level can be higher based on the foods you eat, especially too many foods that are high in carbohydrates, such as potato chips, sodas and bread.
2. Not exercising enough- As you exercise (even something simple as walking daily) your body uses up extra glucose stored in the cells as means to provide you with energy.
3. Dehydration- Your blood glucose level can go up simply because you have not had enough water! Make sure to stay hydrated so your body has everything it needs to regulate your glucose level.
4. Stress- When your stress level goes up, it sends a signal to your body that initiates the 'fight or flight' response.
This causes your blood sugar level to go up, as your body is preparing to expend extra energy.
Monitor your stress level and cope as needed!
