We consider that from one side glucose consumption triggers cortisol secretion, thereby elevating its concentration, while from the other side, it can promote a kind of glucocorticoid resistance. This glucocorticoid resistance could be mediated through both enhancing acetylation (via, among others, regulation of essential clock genes such as Per) and hindering deacetylation of GR (through possible regulation of sirtuin activity).
