[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1614666, member: 438800"] Who knows? After my diagnosis I went back over some of the things that had happened in recent months: [LIST] [*]About one month before the diagnosis, I exploded during a boring conversation with my (lovely) father-in-law, about cars of all things. I shouted abuse at him, threw an object across the room, and stormed out, slamming the door. If you knew me, you would know that this is incredibly unusual behavior, for me. After diagnosis, I read that BG fluctuations can cause anger and rage. But did it really cause the incident I described? It is highly suggestive, but all sorts of other things were going on too. I am in America, and a certain orange person had just become top dog, to which my response at the time was also a form of rage, followed by weeks of depression (which I still feel now, to some extent). Maybe that was T2D related, but actually the event was traumatic enough on its own without requiring T2D to worsen it! [*]For about the past five years I have been urinating more frequently than as a young man. Diabetes symptom? Well, I now don't think so. Wanting to "go" more often is common among older people, and it has not changed noticeably since my T2D diagnosis. (And I was not thirsty or hungry.) [*]For the entire month before diagnosis I had a low-level headache. This, too, is one of the symptoms of T2D and interestingly, it vanished about three weeks into the low-carb diet. But was it really a T2 symptom, or just a random headache? (Edited to add that when I told my doctor about this, his only response was: "Interesting!"). [/LIST] "Enquiring minds want to know," but it is unlikely that such questions can ever be truly resolved. [/QUOTE]
