I don’t have any sports I bet, or care about enough for it to stress me out. My bg stays the same so long as I eat reasonably.
I don’t watch sports events but sometimes I feel like my blood sugar goes up during an intense film. Sitting for an extended period while viewing a film to TV show also seems to be a factor.
No.
I am a fairly avid pro & college sports fan, and I don’t have high BG levels when watching games, either in person or on TV. However, when watching my son play in a youth soccer match, my BG will rise. I try to bolus, walk, and do mindfulness practices to relax.
BG rise is caused by sitting for extended time.
I don’t watch sporting events!
My husband watches football on tv, I don’t really care.
I never watch sports
I could care less about sporting events. LOL
“other” for me… Another non-sports-watcher here, so I don’t know what my BS does during a sporting event.
I really have no idea but don’t think so.. The last three times I watched our team play an MLS game my bs has been low.
I would not choose to watch sporting events, but if I am in that boring scene, very rarely, and the environment is too loud and irritating along with unknown foods, it can raise my BG due to noise and carbs.
I don’t really follow sports and would very rarely watch it on TV.
Rarely watch sports so no. However subject to overnight lows upon arising need additional insulin once I start eating usually that day. Endocrinologist says that’s adrenalin from the low raising my insulin requirements.
I guess I’m in the minority on this, but I actually have a programmed basal pattern with 3X my normal basal for watching my local NFL team on TV, especially near the end of the season, playing a rival and in the playoffs for sure. I can consistently feel the internal stress rising at gametime and until the game is decided. I will typically change basal pattern an hour before kickoff and switch it back in the 4th quarter. Although I have definitely over corrected and have to eat more snacks to bring up a low. 🙂
I can relate to Greg as I have had my CGM spike when my kiddo is doing sports or a play, too.
It’s not the stress that raises my BG, its the sitting and not moving much.
