[QUOTE="ziggy_w, post: 1637112, member: 323454"] Hi [USER=455659]@CanadianGuy[/USER], Anxiety can significantly impact your blood sugar levels. This happens to me too. When I had my last appointment for labs, my fasting blood sugars were 4.3 just before entering the clinic (measured using my own glucometer). However, before taking bloods, the GP called me into his office to talk to me and I felt myself getting nervous. So, I measured my blood sugars right after leaving the clinic and they were 4.9. Evidently, there is nothing else to explain the rise apart from the anxiety. (By the way, the official test yieled fasting blood sugars of 4.6 -- so right in between.) Maybe, you could get a glucometer and test your fasting blood sugars yourself to see what your morning levels are like when you are relaxed? This might help you to put your mind at ease. [/QUOTE]
