Stress can really affect your blood sugar - like, a lot. I've been diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes for years. I also knew it was coming as it runs on both sides of my family. I really didn't find it to be a huge change for me though. I don't count carbs. My blood sugar goes up and down on, seemingly, a whim. I get up in the morning - and it heads straight up before I put anything in my mouth. I go to bed at night with a mid 100's blood glucose and by 1 a.m. my low glucose alarm is going off. I exercise regularly and it never makes a difference with my blood glucose. When it was on the higher side, I did do cinnamon at night and that helped with the morning spike. Now with the middle of the night plunges, I don't dare do that - but it can help some people. Pretty much I let the meds (metformin, glipizide and long-lasting insulin) do their job; and I try to keep a handle on when and what I eat. I think it's a disease that widely varies between individuals and you just need to figure out what does and doesn't work for you. I have been on Mounjaro and it has brought my insulin needs down from 84 units a day to 20. So if the meds aren't helping you, you might want to look into a GLP-1 type treatment. I hope things start to settle down for you.
