No, Cushing's Syndrome does NOT lower glucose levels. In fact, it raises glucose levels. Cushing's syndrome is a collection of symptoms that are relative to Cushing's disease. It is a hyper-adrenal problem. The adrenal glands are producing too much cortisol. Cortisol is a stress hormone released in compromised situations, like stress, anxiety, etc. Cortisol stimulates glucose to be produced to be uptaken by the body's cells for energy for the stressed out situation that the person is having. So Cushing's = hyper adrenal = increase in cortisol = increase in glucose.
