I am trying to reduce average fasting blood glucose from mid 90s to mid 70s. I have had general anxiety disorder for the later part of my life and am looking into techniques to reduce and handle stress.

One thing that I think might also be related is I took flonase for one week and afterward I felt bizarre and “eroded”; while I was taking it I felt like I was absorbing stress above level I would normally shut down at. Several months after taking it regular blood test showed my fasting blood sugar had jumped up to mid 90s; I bought a blood sugar testing device and tested every morning and the average is mid 90s. Flonase might be related to what the problem is and how I should fix it, and I am never taking it again. Could it have caused enlarged adrenal glands? I do not understand this part.

I understand the anxiety part better and am working at that angle, as well as the physiological angle to fix health effects caused by anxiety. I want to be resilient. I have a big book about overcoming anxiety through breathing, psychology, philosophy, nutrition, and every other way one could imagine. In addition, I am using the same advice from these articles I read to help understand the issue.

I advise you speak to your doctor about this and not ask unqualified people. waving

Back on topic with blood sugar drops, I know that pulses of quickly absorbed, easily broken down carbohydrates can cause a healthy persons insulin response to overshoot, and that fiber and staying hydrated between meals can help.

Note, it goes without saying I am not a medical professional and anything I say is for educational sharing of information. On the other hand, if you found a buried drum of methyl-ethyl-death in your back yard; I can help you there. Kind of hard to cause problems doing that kind of work.

I have no doctor. The last doctor I had prescribed me Flonase after I told him I did not want to ever take medicines unless it was a life or death situation.

Maybe consuming meals more slowly so the energy pulse is more spread out, so there is less insulin response to begin with, is better. If there is limited time to eat, then starting with vegetables, then meat, then carbs.
