Do blood sugar spikes increase anxiety?

Today I've not only been suffering from increased anxiety but also depression and moodswings. I think it might have something to do with blood sugar spikes because I skipped lunch today and had my dinner late. Could it be those spikes? Thanks for reading.

I couldn’t say for sure but when my blood sugars dip.. I tremble really bad and feel awful which in turn makes me anxious.. so then I become trapped in the fear cycle.. if you’ve read the Claire weeks books she talks about trembling turn and weak turns .. we use so much energy when the adrenaline is pumping it really is advisable to eat little and often even if it’s a banana.. hope this helps .
