This article is still in the process of identifying. But I know my sugar levels take a jump when I am stressed by anxiety and or depression. Then what jumps as far as glucose levels, must fall...so my levels are fluctuating in higher waves and lower troughs...not good for the organs including the brain.
Self knowledge and awareness is a factor in how much these deviate from normal.

Thank you for the link a very valuable and plausible discussion. Searching the net it would have taken some time to discover this. Again, thank you.

I reversed prediabetes it's on both sides of the family. I don't know about sugar and anxiety, but animal products pick up the anxiety of factory farmed animals and affect people eating them. A lot of my anxiety went away going vegan.

You got me while my referencing and study mode have still gas left in them. I took classes toward being an art Therapist for children. This is my first semester off since 2013. I have used enough WD40 to keep my brain going that would cover the state of Rhode Island. One of my first courses was "stress management", I am glad I didn't wait on that one.
I am now deciding how and where to store the multitudes of files essays and references from my classes... That part I am lost on. A portable hard drive? maybe. John was the geeky one in our pair.
Support and hugs.
