I don't think so, but it could cause for you to feel depress and lead to poor lifestyle because you tend to eat a lot, sleep late and will not exercise, and those can lead to having diabetes.

Yes! Stress does cause diabetes especially the lifestyle-related type of diabetes (Type 2). The blood sugar level of a human is directly proportional to the functionality of the stress hormone known as cortisol. If one's sugar level is high the stress hormone will also be high because a stressed individual is mentally unstable, and this, in turn, affects his body's blood sugar level due to constant disturbances and uneasiness playing out on his mind. But if the blood sugar level is normal, the stress hormone will remain stable too.

The reason for this relationship is that the individual that is stressed would not bother to take care of his mental health to the point he is not even worried about going to check his blood sugar level in the hospital. Mind you he is overwhelmed by life problems and the only thing that could be on his mind is looking for ways to ease the stress which could be the use of alcohol or drugs.

it could trigger a person to have diabetes because of the following reason. If we are stress, sometimes we rely on food because it becomes our stress reliever. It became our good companion in dealing with problems because we feel good after. Once we eat, we do not watch what we eat. Sometimes it could lead to more sugar, starch and we choose foods that are high in cholesterol. We do not watch our diet anymore because for us, we need to put on food to forget the stress and the pressure we are feeling. It can trigger a person to have diabetes for having a poor diet. Stress can even put as awake late at night because we are playing games or watching movies just to forget about our problem. Instead of sleeping 8 hours, we sleep late and we wake up late. This already a poor lifestyle, one of the reasons for a person to have diabetes, type 2.

No, stress does not cause diabetes, but it can trigger things that cause diabetes (such as anxiety. That might make an individual eat more sweets for example.).

If you already have diabetes or are prone to it stress can make it worse, not directly causing it but improve your chances of having it. 

Also, some diabetes type 2 cases are genetically related só even if you are stress-free or not a big fan of sweets you will have it. Some People are even born with diabetes.


But when it comes down to a straight answer it would be no, only stress cannot cause you diabetes, as diabetes is related to many other different factors.

Though stress alone doesn't cause diabetes, there is some evidence that suggests that there is some link between stress and type 2 diabetes. It can be understood in this way some people eat more, usually sweets when they are stressed out.

Although stress does not cause diabetes, it can have an impact on how you manage your illness and your blood sugar levels. In addition to the ups and downs of everyday life, managing diabetes can be stressful in and of itself.

No, stress cannot cause diabetes. However, if you already have diabetes, stress can make it more difficult to manage your blood sugar levels. It is important to use strategies to manage stress when living with diabetes.

Chronic stress may affect blood sugar control and increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, especially in people with a family history or other risk factors.

Stress alone doesn't cause diabetes. But there is some evidence that there may be a link between stress and the risk of type 2 diabetes. Our researchers think that high levels of stress hormones might stop insulin-producing cells in the pancreas from working properly and reduce the amount of insulin they make.

Stress is not a direct cause of diabetes, but it can contribute to the development of the disease in people who are already at risk.

When a person is under stress, their body releases a hormone called cortisol, which can raise blood sugar levels. Over time, elevated blood sugar levels can lead to insulin resistance and eventually to type 2 diabetes.

Additionally, stress can also lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms such as overeating, smoking, and drinking alcohol, which can increase the risk of developing diabetes.

It's important to note that stress alone is not a sufficient cause of diabetes, and other factors such as genetics, diet, and physical activity levels also play important roles in the development of the disease. However, managing stress levels through healthy lifestyle choices and stress-reducing techniques such as exercise, meditation, and relaxation can help reduce the risk of developing diabetes.
