Hi, can anyone tell me if White coat syndrome exists relating to blood sugar levels in type 2's or glucose resistant individuals?
I suffer badly from this when having my blood pressure measured by the medical profession. Despite the fact that I'm not at all worried, it goes through the roof, often to around 150/95 or even higher! when I check it it is a perfect 120/70
Today I went for the results of my first A1c ( it turned out to be 5.5) and despite the fact that I've been a constant 5.5 to 5.8 in the mornings, for a month, today it was inexplicably 7.7. I checked it 3 times at 10 minute intervals and it was constant. My diet was unchanged as was my activity level and tonight before my dinner it was 5.5 again!
