Anyone with high cortisol and insuline levels?

Hello everyone! I joined today! I have high cortisol and insuline levels due to h pylori infection that I successfully killed with antibiotics! Cortisol made me swollen, chubby, and fat on my waist line. My shape is a little better after treatment (finished it 3 weeks ago) but the scale says im still the very same!
Its hard to lose weight with high cortisol, but any success stories dieting and losing weight while cortisol is still high?

My cortisol is high, my doctor says it is because I am such a stressed person and that it can not be medically treated, I just need to chill out. I am chronically stressed though so she is probably right. I also have pcos and bipolar and am pre diabetic but not over the threshold where it needs treating medically. My bipolar is treated with medication which also slows metabolism, predisposes me to diabetes and is damaging my thyroid. I am losing weight. It is really hard but it is shifting. I personally do best on low carb. I do gentle walking when I can and that helps.
