yes, it can cause higher glucose levels. in fact, i know a lot of men who have sleep apnea, and now have type 2 diabetes. once they were diagnosed with diabetes, though, their sleep became better.

sounds like it's mostly the stress. Stress causes the body to produce cortisol as a way to cope with the stress. Cortisol causes elevation of blood glucose. Not sure about the lack of sleep, but, certainly your body may be producing glucose from stores to maintain an adequate supply of nutrition to the brain. if you're moving and probably more active, that can cause low blood sugars, of course. Sleep more before your body's immune system is shot and you get sick.

Well, lack of sleep can affect your blood sugars. But, from what you are saying, you also aren't eating enough and are stressing too much. Those too can affect the blood sugars. Since you have diabetes, you MUST check your blood sugars more often and eat more often or else your blood sugars will go too low or too high (not enough food means too low; stress can make it go either way). I know the stress of moving (I moved 3 times in 3 times in 4 months last year), but I always kept my blood sugar as level as I could by eating often and checking my blood sugars often. Good luck on your move and in your new place.

Yes, lack of sleep can mess you up in a variety of ways. For one thing, you burn whatever calories you eat in a different way if you don't have your normal wake/sleep rhythms. But if you eat about the same as usual, or even more junk food than usual, the net effect is that you are up and down in unpredictable ways. As soon as this relocation is complete to the point where you can, get a lot of rest and slow down for several days, and get yourself back to normal to the extent possible. You'll re-adjust better if you do. And the emotional stress will be reduced, as well.
