[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1785906, member: 345386"] You make some very definite statements there that don't reflect my life before, or with diabetes. Since diagnosis, I haven't had depression. Of course, I've had the odd tough period in my life, but they haven't particularly been diabetes related, and nor have they caused me to become depressed. Secondly, I think individuals should look at their own blood glucose levels if they are angry. For many, excitement or anger, with the associated adrenalin and cortisol rushes can raise their blood glucose levels. Certainly if I enter a state of high emotion - whether it be excitement, fear or anger, my bloods can go on a bit of a rollercoaster ride. Fortunately for me, my peaks are very modest these days. We're all different. :) [/QUOTE]
