Consider the body’s reaction to extreme fear. Adrenaline is released into the blood stream to raise the blood sugar level momentarily. Extreme fear is often equated with diarrhoea, I suspect because this is one of the brain’s methods of ridding the system of excess sugar. In diabetics it is usually the urinary system which performs this function, but in the summer of 1985, I started to experience frighteningly prolonged bouts and even more alarmingly, an uncontrollable temper which was fuelled by an apparent adrenaline rush. Having a ten month old daughter in the house would not be compatible. One July morning I went to work and the Traffic Manager made a slight criticism. I replied in a fast but quiet bass tone which rapidly rose to a high pitched scream as I smashed my fist down on the desk. “I think you had better go outside to calm down” said Phil with a slight element of surprise on his face. Very wise man. Outside I stood against the wall shaking with a mixture of shame and of fright brought on by my lack of control. It was only when I went to the local hospital for observation that I realised that a stable regime caused all the above, and shunning social contact, to disappear.</blockquote>
