Please can someone help my mother 78 is type2 diabetic and has a high blood sugar 15 confirmed by doctors ahe has just had a blood test for odema results on thurs

but I dont understand the moods are they part od the diabetese and do they mean anything they can be violent and can go on for days

hoping someone can offer some guidence
 
Diabetics often have mood swings especially with a blood sugar level that high!!She needs to get her levels down.Has she seen any Nurse or doctor yet to do this!
 
thank you she has seen a doctor and is due to see a doctor on thrus this week are the mood swing connected with high blood sugar
I have tried to get mum to change her eating habits but she much prefers pastry,cakes jellys ect
i am at my whits end if i mention that these maybe not helping that results in a moody session this could last for day and sometimes weeks
 
It is really difficult to get someone who is non compliant to cooperate.Hopefully the doctor will put her on medication ,at 78 there could be other ,age related reasons for her mood swings.It would be best for her to be thoroughly checked out by the doctor.

Agreed! I have (diagnosed) depression, with a side order of ADD, and the symptoms have improved markedly and my medication use reduced hugely due to getting control of my BG.

However my X-wife also had major mood swings and no BG problems. See if there is a regular pattern to them, hormonal and other endocrine factors can be causal, and bipolar disorder may cause mood cycling usually fairly regular over anything from days to months.
