A full sleep of at least eight hours a day is another condition for maintaining a normal blood glucose level. With a lack of sleep, insulin sensitivity decreases - and scientists still can not explain why. This is probably due to circadian (diurnal) rhythms: when they are broken, problems with sugar metabolism occur in the body. Strong jumps in blood glucose can also cause strong feelings: in a stressful situation, you must act quickly - and the body prepares glucose for decisive action. True, in the modern world, the resulting stress usually does not require physically active actions such as fighting the aggressor or trying to escape - and the blood sugar level remains high. This is another argument in favor of regular training for those who stress a lot at work.
