  1. Appreciate you sharing and reaching out. I'm sorry for your loss, that is such a hard loss. Stress and poor sleep can certainly increase your blood sugar. If it's high and you feel like you can do it safely, exercise, even a simple walk around the block can help to bring your numbers down. I'd encourage you to seek out support around you. Maybe someone you can talk to about your feelings and this great loss your navigating.
