Why high cortisol may be making your diabetes management harder | The Hangry Woman

Understanding The Link Between Diabetes and High Cortisol Levels
Join Mila, The Hangry Woman, on her channel as she explores the critical connection between diabetes and high cortisol levels.
Learn about the CATALYST study, which screened a thousand patients with high hemoglobin A1C levels despite multiple drug therapies, revealing a 24% prevalence of hypercortisolism and adrenal abnormalities in about one-third of these patients.
Understand how stress and cortisol levels impact blood sugar levels, weight gain, hypertension, and anxiety, creating barriers to effective diabetes management.
Mila discusses strategies for managing cortisol levels, such as stress reduction techniques, healthy diets, quality sleep, and recognizing symptoms of high cortisol.
She also introduces her free app, Glucose Guide, for community support, resources, and recipes tailored for those living with diabetes.

I am T2 diabetic with Cushing syndrome. That only took 20 years to diagnosed, being told to just loose weight , when it’s impossible 😞😮‍💨 Get yourself an Endocrinologist that specialises in Diabetics and Cushing syndrome . It is life changing. 🐨💗

I love these ideas. And as well, I've been getting a weekly massage to reduce my stress. :)

[@TheHangryWoman]

That’s definitely something I want to add to my list more often! I always feel soothed after a massage!

I have suspected that I’m living with hypercortisolism and it is at the source of my development of diabetes in my late years. I’ve discussed this with doctors & just don’t get anywhere. I have eaten well for 60 years and meditated & manage my stresses for years but now in spite of my attempts my nervous system seems to be hyper tuned and I suspect cortisol is flowing freely with even one stressful thought or a short bit of physical effort.

[@TheHangryWoman]

I’m so sorry it’s been a struggle to get someone to listen to you. I hope that you’re not discouraged from continuing to advocate for yourself. You deserve answers.

Looking great! You are one of the few people who know about High Cortisol’s effects on DT2 and Obesity.
Women take on too much! They put up with bad relationships, bad bosses, etc. We think we have to do it all to be appreciated. But society needs to learn that being a wife and/or mother IS A JOB.
