>>Hi-my fasting glucose(15 hrs.) was 93 a couple weeks ago.

Surprisingly high. Two weeks before that(non-fasting) was 77. This

makes no sense to me, complete oppossite. I really don't think I'm

pre-diabetic(type II) either. I haven't eaten grain, sugar, starch

for 6 years. A couple years ago my insulin was < 2 (non-fasting) and

doc. said well, " you'll probably never develop diabetes " . So, one doc.

only checked glucose and another one only checked insulin. No surprise

there. I know I need to get both checked together but will low

cortisol mess with fasting glucose levels? Why is my non-fasting

glucose lower than fasting glucose? Thank you>>

That's exactly what happened to me...over the past year that I've been taking HC

(20-25 mg) and my glucose (fasting) went from 77 to 105! I never ever had high

glucose readings. I also developed the " cortisol belly " which I never had

before, and my 2 hour glucose was up to 145!

I gradually weaned off the HC (am now only on 7.5 mg daily) and now my fasting

glucose is 89.

Be careful....HC at any dose can raise your blood glucose, and it is a good idea

to keep monitoring it to make sure it doesn't get to the pre-diabetic range.

One correction here. HC at any dose that gives you HIGH cortisol can cause

glucose to rise. Takign enough to be at a normal level will nto cause it to rise

too high no matter what you need, btu the glucose meter is an excellent way to

nwo if you are taking too much, but certainly do nto go by ONE fasting reading.

If oyu have any kind of cold , sore throat or any bidding infection it can also

raise fasting lgucose very high veyr quickly and even before you start to feel

ill. I am Diabetic and HC actually lowers my glucose! So highj or low cortisll

causes the wrong glucose an dinsulin levels.

>>is it safe to say that too little

cortisol could lead to little insulin leading to higher blood sugar?<<

Worse.. Low cortisol causes adrenaline to be released constantly.. THIS si worse

at raising glucose in SPIKES then high cortisol is. The spikes cause a hige

releaseof insulin, which themn causes hypoglycemia. It is a vicious circle and

either high or low cortils can be the root cause of Diabetes due to this. The

high estrogen also can cause thespiking of insulin as the pancreas has estrogen

receptors in it too, and high estrogen is common wiht low cortiosl so further

depletes the pancreas.
