Hi
@mumpat888, you have put your finger on the most likely causes for the upwards creep of your levels. Stress hormones cause the liver to release more than its usual trickle of glucose in a misguided attempt to give you extra fuel for energy (the old 'fight or flight' reaction), and reduced physical activity will make your body's cells less sensitive to insulin so it's that much harder for them to use up the glucose in your blood. If you can manage to fit in a half-hour daily walk, particularly after a meal, this should help, and it might also help with the stress a bit as you get some 'feel good' hormones from periods of sustained exercise. Take some time each day for yourself, and try and relax a little
🙂 I hope that whatever is causing the stress resolves itself soon
