Research in 2006 and 2007 (USA and Canada) says nerve pain triggers Diabetes and that inflammation (which usually accompanies pain) causes diabetes too. Arguably, hyperglycemia "is" diabetes. (And, arguably, it's not.) Most medics say hyperglycemia causes inflammation. But it happens the other way around too - ie. inflammation causes hyperglycemia. Chicken and egg thing. World Health Org says 'stress hyperglycemia' (non-diabetic hyperglycemia) lasts as long as the 'stress' lasts - and that includes physical stress - ie. pain. So - yes - it seems pain causes hyperglycemia (whether diabetes is present or not). Ergo: whatever condition is causing the pain, it's obviously better for long term health to cure it ASAP - while hyperglycemia may still be reversible. Medics say "but in a non-diabetic, insulin would reduce the hyperglycemia". Hum. But inflammation (and the pain that goes with it) also causes insulin-resistance. The insulin can't work properly because of the inflammation. Seems to me there's insufficient research in this area (and Lord knows I've looked).
