[QUOTE="Neohdiver, post: 1280473, member: 258692"] Stress, itself, can directly affect blood glucose levels. After achieving very tight control (including reversing my response to carb intake to the pre-diabetic level), I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I fired my first cancer team, in large part because of the dramatic and immediate impact dealing with the administrative team had on my blood glucose levels (and blood pressure). In addition, throughout the 3-month treatment period my "background" BG levels (morning fasting & levels between meals - after the 2-hour PP elevation had subsided) were significantly higher than they had been during the prior period. (My most recent A1c reflects this elevation - the previous A1c was 5.3; the one that included the treatment period was 5.9. The background levels dropped back down - but have been up again the past few days while I've been going through another biopsy + massive headache pain since I couldn't take my normal analgesic for several days.) So, yeah, for me it is a pretty direct and immediate effect. [/QUOTE]
