[QUOTE="Deleted member 371625, post: 1457513"] Stress of any kind, including pain, will cause an increase in BG. The body is preparing for fight/flight by supplying the necessary energy. This isn't a problem if you produce insulin normally to mop up the excess. The principle is the same as the dawn phenomenon where the body is supplying the energy it thinks you are going to need.

I have seen no research on this but anything which raises a persons BG for prolonged periods (whether it is chronic pain or carbs) may have some effect. It would be interesting to know whether the body becomes accustomed to the pain in the sense that it stopped releasing glucose (in which case it is unlikely to be a causal factor) or whether it lead to a constantly raised BG (and therefore higher HbA1c). Alternatively, it could be that chronic pain, by preventing exercise, may be causal in a more indirect way. I shall spend a little time searching for relevant research and if I can't find any, maybe have a student look into doing it (I know a couple looking for a doctoral thesis and may suggest this).
