They found out my adreneral glands weren't working well. I had to less of the hormone Cortisol.Wow! That's alot of information to absorb all at once, in spite of the fact you were brief and direct in your words. Thanks! I will look into it a bit more.
I know when your body is under stress and stress can be positive and negative. Positive is like stress for a wedding and negative stress could be sickness, fever, but also stress of waiting for an apointment.
Anyway, is your body having stress, your Cortisol will rise to get your body in fighting position. Cortisol will free the adrenaline and also the sugar from your muscles to go to your brain (otherwise, in the worst case, if this doesn't happen, you could pass out or get into shock).
And because your body is in a constant state of stress by your illness, your adreneral glands don't know how to respond anymore, they communicate slower with the pituitary in the brain. So sugar will still rise, but the signal for the insuline doesn't respond as good anymore. The otherway around is also possible, by the slow communication because of the years and years of stress, there could be less sugur to the brain and you feel dizzy all the time.
It's a complex system that's called "Hypothylamus-Pituitary-Adrenal- Axis
So if your inflamitation goes down, so will the body stress go down and your sugar will go down to.
