I know my first symptoms came when I was very very stressed.

Wow, I was diagnosed within 2 months of having lost a long term work
contract and my mother dying!

Does it have to be men?

Never mind diagnosis... I was under severe work stress for nearly 3
years with rocketing insulin requirements. Immediately it stopped I
reduced insulin requriements by a third at least... it went gradually
down and down, until I was on about half the doses that I had been.
Now it's about to shoot up, but don't ask!

By that 'research' stress has no effect on the females involved?

There again it is from the BBC news fillers.

As far as I remember stress has been known to be involved with diabetes
onset from before I was Dxd (1955) a dog bite was blamed for my onset
because there was no trace of diabetes on either side of my parents going
back 3 generations. I would think shock is a form of stress. Stress is
also known to make control worse same as colds/flu and such.
I will do as I am told and not ask but I bet someone is tempted. ;)

I'm reading a book called "Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers" that is
linking stress to all manner of things. Some very interesting pathways
- recommend the book.
