Re: Blood sugar/cortisol connection

[Guest guest]

Blood sugar dropping causes cortisol to increase. Just read on

another forum that this is the reason the cortisol is highest in the

morning.

Begs the question...what the hell is wrong with my blood

sugar/cortisol response?!

Have most of you out there with adrenal issues also experienced blood

sugar issues?

I still suffer from low blood sugar - a wee bit now, compared to

before - even on HC.

Anyone else?

Absolutely, I have to eat small snacks throughout the day or I get

all the low blood sugar symptoms, dizzy-tired-listless...need I go on

LOL

I don't know how any of you can't eat every three

hours, because that's about how often I get hungry and

have a little something.

Now, I'm a big girl & never been shy about my love of food, but I HATE

that, don't you??? Just as I'm getting going on a project, I've got

to jump up & find a snack...and not just an easy-to-grab high carb

snack, but something that's not going to slam me down further!

It's a pain!

Oh, I don't get hunger pangs either - because my sugar always crashes

before I have " hunger " .

When I started metformin I was amazed, because I realized that I

hadn't felt " hungry " - you know, tummy rumbling, etc. - in YEARS!

Then as adrenals crapped out, even the metformin didn't do much.

There's something wrong with THAT picture!

I've had low blood sugar issues as far back as I can remember, even

as a child. Since starting cortisol replacement, it's gone.

Well, I'm beginning to think that I may need a wee bit more HC, but

I'll wait a bit before I decide since I haven't been on for long. The

blood sugar has definitely improved, just not resolved entirely.

I certainly have... thought I was on my way to a diabetes diagnosis

myself. I have had " irregular " glucose tolerance tests since my 20's.

Probably have had low adrenals since I was a kid... (VERY high stress

home and the litany of things that happened to my family before I was

12... I won't bore you.)

[Guest guest]

Yep, still getting low blood sugar issues. Not as severe since before HC,

but still have them.
