Hello.........
Thanks for your query. As you rightly pointed out stress and depression can worsen your blood sugar levels by acting on sympathetic system. I suggest you to undergo a thorough psychiatric evaluation for depression/ anxiety disorders so that appropriate psychotropic medication can be prescribed. Stress reduction strategies can be learnt from a clinical psychologist. Yoga, meditation and breathing relaxation exercises may be beneficial. Wish you good health.
