(This post keeps not showing up on our servers. Sorry if there's multiple posts.) Hypoglycemia causes a condition called hyperinsulinism, in which insulin becomes hyperactive. What that means is that when a stressful situation arises and adrenaline raises the blood sugar, the hyperreactive insulin lowers it to below what it started at. This then causes more adrenaline to be released and it becomes a vicious cycle. Hypoglycemia is not diabetes, but definitely can lead to it. Holistic doctors do glucose tolerance tests that measure that blood sugar over a 6 hour period. There have been studies that showed that hypoglycemia increases the adrenaline and noradrenaline levels tenfold within minutes. Besides staying away from caffeine and carbohydrates, (especially refined carbs), inositol (a B vitamin) in large amounts has been used with good results, for anxiety.
