I have read with interest about the anger and temper turns with high blood suger. At the risk of being controversial I wonder how many of you are taking the drugs in the family of gliclazide, most of which I cannot name. I had been taking this diabetic drug since 1999. There is a distinct danger of going hypo with gliclazide.
A side effect of a hypo as I know from my husband and his T1 diabetes is that hypos do cause the body to use the sugar stored in the liver to peserve life and that this gives very high sugar levels and can give the impression that the temper and anger is caused by high blood sugar, when in fact its a hypo where the body uses its own resources until you rectify the situation.
I do not take this drug now, I am in the trial of the new victoza injection for T2 which seems to suit me very well, with very little in the way of side effects so far. As a type 2 diabetic and breast cancer patient I congratulate you for being so supportive. I can tell you personally what this support means, life almost impossible without the help and support of my dear husband of 31 years. I have also been on the other side of the fence as he has been a T1 diabetic for 31 years. I hope that this information may help to throw some light on the anger situation.
