Trauma can trigger the release of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, which can lead to an increase in blood sugar levels. This is known as the "fight or flight" response, where the body prepares to respond to a perceived threat. Prolonged or chronic trauma can disrupt the body's ability to regulate blood sugar, potentially leading to conditions like insulin resistance and Diabetes. Managing trauma through therapy, stress reduction techniques, and a healthy lifestyle can help mitigate these effects on blood sugar levels.
