Just wanted to say that after seeing a lot of people on here talking about 'The Obesity Code' by Dr Jason Fung I went and bought a copy of the book.
What an interesting read it is proving to be !! The link between cortisol and elevated blood sugars, disrupted sleep patterns and cortisol and stress in general has been a revelation. Hubby is (by his own admission) a bit of a control freak and can be OCD about his job. Finds it very hard to unwind and we suspect that his cortisol has been running high for some years. He hasn't slept properly in years-awful insomnia and it is joining up the dots of how he probably came to be diabetic.
Thank you to all who recommended the book. Trying to tackle the sleeping issues first then having a holiday. If that doesn't work I'll be dragging him off to yoga classes....
