I do think blood sugar can be cortisol stimulated.

Low grade stress, may increase cortisol, which then increases
blood sugar. I noticed on vacation my fasting went down to low 100's ... 103 ave.. But at home I run at least 10-15 points higher.

My sugars are lower now without metformin than with it.. very
odd . But metformin made my GI tract very irritable and that was a major stressor!
