Yes: In the early phase of diabetes there can be episodes of low blood sugar that cause anxiety . Too aggressive treatment can cause low blood sugar and anxiety. Diabetes can itself cause psychological anxiety because of the risks of complications, life-style and dietary changes and even just from the need to check glucose levels. Diabetes can also cause an organic depression with anxiety and agitation.

Hi... I'm super concerned I've got neuropathy as I seem to have increasing symptoms, especially of autonomic. I've been checked for diabetes and thyroid problems. I do have IBS and anxiety. Maybe autoimmune caused by "leaky gut"? I don't know?
