I am so glad you wrote this! I ALWAYS recognize a rise in blood sugar when I am stressed, and it is always around 100 mg/dl. Here's to stressing less, in traffic and in life!
I love this post! How cool that you were able to identify your issue and actually do something about it!! W00t! I grew up in SoCal but moved away before I had to deal with too much traffic (I was only 16). I once drove from Newport Beach to Disneyland on surface streets just to avoid the freeway. :-) The only time I saw stress affect my bg was when I was in the hospital for an operation. That's the only time I've ever had an insulin shot since my glucose just wouldn't go back down. I'm sure it's happened other times but I'm retired now so it happens less often. I hope you continue to handle that traffic stress. Good luck!
holy crow dude, i am so glad you were able to work a little "mind over matter" action during your stressful commutes. i remember how ridic it was from when we lived in socal.
my kid totally gets high BG from stress. i'm gonna play smooth jazz for her next time. oh wait, that didn't work for you. ;)

Great post G-Money! Funny how such a small change in our thinking can make such a real difference.
