Hi Ken and welcome to the forum :)

Mood swings - My ex husband said to me recently, "You are not such a bad tempered b1tch now that your diabetes is under control." Bit of a double edged compliment, but I was happy to take it!

So yes, type 2 folk can suffer from temper and mood swings, but this is due to the roller coaster of having poor blood glucose control. Once my levels came down and stayed in a tight range, I became a lot calmer and more tolerant :)
 
Hi Ken and welcome to the forum.

Mood swings? haven't had one of those since I had raging hormones in my youth, now long gone.
