My A1C Is Usually 6.1 (for Several Years) But I

My A1C is usually 6.1 (for several years) but I always feel hungry, especially for carbs. I have numerous areas of my body that are very painful (had 5 compression fractures in my back, 3 in lumbar; severe spinal stenosis, arthritis in both hips and one knee, and some neuropathy in one foot where I had 3 crushed toes a few years ago. None of the OTC pain meds seem to work and I can't tolerate the opiods at all. Does the constant pain in several areas of my body cause my cortisol to go up and stay up? Are there any natural remedies to get it in balance? I also had a bad case of pneumonia, complicated by asthma just recently. I have been taking Vit. D-3 and K-2 for about 7 years and it definitely helped my immune system but I got lax this winter.
