Frustration
I have depression which leads to my depression. What would help me cope with getting frustrated so easily? I'm constantly agitated by others and by what's going on around me. Some days I even without meaning to, take it out on others. In the mornings is when I'm the worse.
So being depressed causes Cortisol levels to be screwy making u hypoglycemic in a way?
Well.............guess I've been told, eh?
Sorry if I ruined your Cortisol debate. But I'm glad he reiterated my point that nursegirl can speak very well for herself.
And the "warning?" Perhaps I could have stated that better......guess the mother hen in me got her feathers ruffled when he messed with one of our top chicks.
Peace
Ms. Community Leader LOL

From what I've seen, I believe Nursegirl is fully capable of doing her own talking.
But since you're actually threatening me here, clearly not in a very subtle manner, something which a lot of people would consider much worse than what I wrote btw, I will give you the pleasure of not returning to your forum, Ms.Community leader.
To all the rest of you: Peace!

I can assure you that nursegirl does not need to kiss the *** of ANYONE on this forum.

That's totally ok nursegirl, even though your politeness could be questioned a little perhaps :) I wasn't second guessing the fact that Cortisol plays a vital and very intricate role in many processes linked to metabolism, neurochemistry and immune function.
I was just pointing to the fact that Cortisol production, due to Cortisol being a catabolic hormone, happens to suppress the production of many other hormones (including Insuline). In the case of long-term or chronic stress, in the medical sense of the word, Cortisol levels are often found to be chronically heightened along with heightened blood glucose levels. Chronic stress can indeed lead to exhaustion of the adrenal glands and then the result would be low Cortisol production, which again would bring about a lowering of blood sugar levels and this would call for Cortisol production which now is inadeqate. Too much blood sugar (counts as stress as well) will also call for more Cortisol. Vicious cycles. Cortisol issues are undoubtedly complicated.
High Cortisol levels in the mornings, which is normal, is a kind of kick-start of the system. After a period of not eating the Cortisol production increases and this sets off the process of catabolism- the breaking down of proteins to amino acids which in turn are converted into glucose that can feed the brain(quite important when you're awake,no?)
By all means, there is no need for stressing the body even more so by not eating, so a nice and healthy breakfast is doing your body and brain a favor.
CRH is the "mother hormone" of ACTH, which in turn is responsible for the production of Cortisol due to the HPA-axis that operates on the principle of negative feedback. Stress of any kind will lead to the release of Cortisol. Waking up is actually extremely stressful, hence the high levels of Cortisol in the mornings, but due to the catabolic nature of this hormone (i.e it works antagonistically to the anabolic hormone Insuline), it will be increasing blood glucose rather than decreasing it, that's all I'm saying, not that it isn't a good idea to eat breakfast.

Call it what you will....I just happened to agree with ryan's post and was trying to find a polite way to point out that his information was indeed the accurate infomation in this thread.
K?

HYPOGLYCEMIA is the proper spelling, btw.
And, Ryan nailed it....his post is 100% accurate, which is a good reason why people should sincerely not skip breakfast. Breakfast truly is the most important meal of the day, given this fact.
As a nurse, I can tell you that the vast majority of hypoglycemic episodes of pt's oocurs in the early morning hours....which is why we carefully monitor all pt's sugars in the morning.

Actually Cortisol counteracts Insulin, and blood sugar is typically increased rather than reduced if Cortisol is high. However, if you suffer from hypoglychemia in the first place, that will count as a physiological stressor, which in turn elevates Cortisol levels.
In the morning feelings are quite "raw" before the brain has had the time to"boot up" properly, meaning you have less control over negative thoughts.
