Does anyone know if increased insulin production causes increases in anxiety? This weekend was a total bust in the eating department which I know causes increased insulin production and today it's like my body is a puppet on string, I am all over the place here.

    Stress screws with your cortosol which in tuns screws with your insulin so it's a catch-22. It's easy to say "take a few deep breaths" but not so easy to follow the advice. Keep this thought in your mind though - for your health, you need to keep your stress levels down, Insulin resistant and diabetic people cannot cope the same way as everyone else.
