Is it possible to get stress diabetes? Because isn’t diabetes what happens when you create a sugar hurricane and your pancreas’ disaster response team doesn’t have enough insulin sandbags to stop it so your bloodstream floods? Your kidneys are the Superdome and the rest of your body is the rest of America in that it would rather cut off its foot than take disaster preparedness measures like insulin and I’m actually kind of proud of this diabetes as Hurricane Katrina metaphor. I mean, Louisiana even looks like a foot. Anyway, don’t quote me on that because my Board Certification in Endocrinology comes from one of those schools where the admissions process involves sending them a drawing of a clown. But my question is: can the same thing happen with stress? If so, I may need to reconsider some of my appointments to the Federal Anxiety Management Agency.
Shame on Seamus
