Anxiety around meal time

I have been experiencing a sudden spike of anxiety before, during, and/or after meal time. I am wondering if anyone has had a similar experience. From what I’ve read, a bolus can occasionally cause this. I’ve also read there is a link between blood sugar and cortisol especially in lean men. Does anyone else have a similar experience? If so, what helps?

Yes I can relate to this, I'm fine and hungry and then I take my dose and then I struggle to eat it from worrying. I worry if I don't eat it all to match my dose, which then counterproductively makes me feel sick. I mostly take it straight after I eat now incase I don't finish it all and at least haven't taken enough for the whole plate.

I used to be overweight but now I'm around 12% body fat and I have worried more about diabetes than I ever have, so there could indeed be a link.
