ABSTRACT
Whether originating from physical or mental factors, stress has been demonstrated to provoke alterations in blood sugar levels, presenting a predicament for individuals living with diabetes. Stress tends to elevate the levels of counter-regulatory hormones, particularly cortisol, adrenaline, or noradrenaline. Furthermore, diabetes itself constitutes a significant source of stress.
To investigate the impact of stress on diabetes, a study was conducted with 200 participants diagnosed with Type-I and Type-II diabetes. These individuals were divided into two distinct groups based on their stress levels. A battery of tests and questionnaires was administered to both groups to assess their respective stress levels.
The data collected underwent rigorous statistical analysis, which revealed that individuals diagnosed with diabetes displayed a mean stress score of 18, with a corresponding mean deviation of 12.59. This study provides compelling evidence that people living with diabetes experience significantly higher levels of stress compared to their non-diabetic counterparts.
Key words: Diabetes, Type-I and Type-II diabetes, biological stress.
