The Sugar Content of the Blood in Emotional States

Studies on Diabetes Mellitus: The Relation of Stressful Life Situations to the Concentration of Ketone Bodies in the Blood of Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Humans 1

“…However, the average deviations of successive samples in the control group (4 + 1) and in the stress group (7 + 3) were not significantly different in this small number of cases. Other workers have observed modest elevations of blood glucose to approximately 120 mg.% in fasting non-diabetic persons under circumstances of stress (33)(34)(35) Figure 5 represents the complete protocol of stressful interview with Subject P, from this group, the 15-year-old son of an alcoholic busdriver. The interview aroused in him sullen resentment toward both his father and the interviewer.…”

The Effects Of Stressful Life Situations on the Concentration of Blood Glucose In Diabetic and Nondiabetic Humans

“…Mirsky 1 also was unable to demonstrate a hyperglycemia in nondiabetic individuals during stressful interviews. Others have reported that nondiabetic individuals in more prolonged and severe settings of stress (such as aviators prior to' hazardous flights, 18 or players during football games 19 ) may have a hyperglycemia as great as 180 mg. per ioo cc. or higher.…”

Behavioristic aspects of hypoglycemia.

“…However, Stewart (33), who also worked with cats, found that there was no evidence that the degree of excitement in these animals influenced the blood sugar content. Bowman and Kasania (34), who recently have written an article in which they discuss the question, remark that the data reported are contradictory; that there is considerable evidence to show that emotional states produce a rise in the blood sugar content, and equally good evidence that the sugar content is unaffected.…”
