ANGINA and HIGH BLOOD-GLUCOSE
Hi to other Forum readers - particularly anyone with angina....?
My angina pain is closely linked to the usual culprits - recent meal, cold, exercise.
It is also closely linked to high blood-glucose, regardless of those other factors.
Just high blood-glucose, alone, can and will trigger angina pains for a short period [for minutes to maybe half an hour, after using insulin to lower the bg level].
Has anyone else noticed this?

Hi Spiker. Thanks for your reply. I didn't allow for yet another votable comment for other symptoms induced by high bg. I'll try to add it...
Angina/atherosclerosis can be silent ie painless or disguised as unusual/unrecognisable symptoms. Dare I suggest you ask for a physical assessment such as CT scan, angiogram, etc? The high-bg induced shortness of breath may be a handy early warning, allowing you to get treatment early, to avoid problems later....
