I know stress raises my blood sugar levels, making decent control very difficult. Sometimes when stressed I can take buckets of insulin before I can get it down! I'm 57 and been T1 since I was 20.
But could high blood sugar cause anxiety? The last few mornings I've woken up feeling anxious with high blood sugar, wondering if it's a chicken or egg situation? I can be susceptible to stress, usually I can attribute it to something, it's only once been so bad for a prolonged period that I've needed medication. But then I understood the cause.
Over the last few yrs I've made a conscious effort to rid myself of stress, mostly successful. I currently have nothing I'm concerned about (lucky I know) and nothing I can attach my anxious feelings to. What gives?
