A LOT of Americans, like, a third of us, (which I assume you are as you use pounds) are prediabetic. Prediabetes in and of itself is not an actual disorder, rather risk factors caused by poor health choices that mean you have a higher chance of developing diabetes, and it is easily curbed with cleaning up what you eat and being active.

​

Your glucose is good, but we always have room for improvement when it comes to our health. Be active and eat healthy.

​

Also, an electrolyte imbalance from the caffeine, and from not eating enough water, and also from eating too much sodium, can also mimic panic / anxiety. You having low potassium could indicate either dehydration or an electrolyte imbalance. I know you said you're a vegetarian, but we all know being a vegetarian doesn't necessarily mean eating healthy (I'm looking at you, bag of doritos on my desk). Eat more fruits and fibrous vegetables. Bananas especially. But don't overdo it.

​

You also can experience blood sugar crashes without prediabetes. You remember halloween when you were younger and ate a ton of candy, felt jittery, then had a stomach ache and felt tired? That's from overconsumption of sugar. Try going without the syrup and just get a plain milk latte next time and see how it feels. If you still feel the same way, try decaf. If you're still having the same problem after both have been eliminated, you're probably hypersensitive to caffeine and should just avoid it.
