Stress is different for everyone. What is viewed as a productive work environment for one is chaotic negative stress for another. Stressors, or things that are perceived to cause stress, are difficult to categorize. In any case, the result of stress has measurable effects. From tension headaches to serious diseases, stress can bring on a number of complications. It can impact a person's physical and emotional health. In addition, stress not only affects an individual, but those around him, too. In combating serious diseases, such as diabetes, it is important to understand the underlying factors that can trigger the onset of the disease. Stress in relation to diabetes has a strong influence on the body's metabolic processes responsible for glucose conversion. Although difficult to define, stressors can leave their mark on an individual for a lifetime.

Type II refers to one of three forms of diabetes. It occurs when the body no longer regards insulin effectively. Sometimes, the pancreas does not produce enough insulin to lower blood sugar levels. In either situation, an individual's blood glucose level is elevated. The pancreas releases large amounts of insulin to reduce the level quickly, yet abruptly. In response, adrenaline is sent out to balance the spike and sudden drop. In addition, glucose that cannot be converted to usable energy is stored as fat. The stored fat only contributes to an existing weight problem. Furthermore, the repeated cycle of spikes and drops causes damage to the systems in the body. Maintaining a lifestyle that indulges high fat, highly-processed foods or large quantities of food only aggravates the condition further.

Children with diabetes who experience frequent episode of severe low blood sugar or hypoglycemia particularly at an early age may have reduced long-term memory performance than diabetic children who experience severe hypoglycemia at a later age. A diabetic children's spatial memory performance may be greatly affected by episodes of extreme low blood sugar. Hypoglycemia is an abnormally low level of glucose in the blood or low blood sugar.

Anti-diabetic medicines that are taken orally by the mouth are effective as insulin injection in controlling symptoms of diabetes. The number of people with diabetes continues to rise while their ages at the time of diagnosis drop. Type 2 diabetes, which used to be called adult - onset diabetes, is now striking children, due largely to the obesity epidemic. Overweight and obese kids that present identifying symptoms like darkness around neck and armpits area are those who frequently get urinary tract infection (UTI).

Children who experience insulin resistance may experience little or no thirst and no increase in urination. Nutrition is a key factor in children developing Type II diabetes. Children with diabetes whose blood sugar tends to drop below the normal levels of 70-100 mg/dl may experience long-term memory deficits Spatial memory performance may also be affected by low blood sugar. Currently, two million adolescents between the ages of 12 and 19 are diagnosed with diabetes.

Having diabetes requires careful examination of ones sugar level.

Treatment includes nutrition, exercise, and healthy lifestyle. Through education an individual can learn how to use food in his favor. Certain foods contain nutrients and chemicals that combat the effects of stress. Eating healthy paired with consistent exercise will increase the cell's sensitivity to insulin, allowing the body to burn calories and convert glucose more efficiently. In general, the combination of relaxation, healthy eating and physical activity is a winning plan in the ongoing challenge of diabetes.
