A question about moody DH ???

I have a question about my DH. I am wondering if him having Type 2 Diabetes would have any effect on his moods. I have noticed that he has a shorter fuse then ever before. It used to take a lot to get him upset, but now it seems it happens faster and more often. He also gets very snippy with me especially and I mean we used to argue like any married couple, but now it seems to be happening alot more often. We are having a financial crisis and I know that is adding to the issue. It has been more stressful for all of us and I know stress can effect his numbers, but strange thing is....it hasn't at all. His numbers have been in the normal range. Could there be something else going ?? I am new to this whole thing and any advice would be helpful. He has a doc appt next week and had a glucose test just this past Thu, so I am anxious to see what that says.

Denise, usually what you are describing comes with the glucose numbers being off at the time...

It definitely could be related to his blood sugar level. That is one thing we are noticing with my DH, who was recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes as well. His numbers so far have all been within normal range (except for one that was 1 point over) but it seems like when his levels are dropping into the lower range of "normal" that he gets very cranky and snippy. So then I try to have him eat something and it seems to help.

My mother was also a Type 1 diabetic and we could always tell when she needed to eat because she would also start with the irritable-ness..unfortunately most of the time she would argue with us and it was not pretty!

Thanks to you both for the info. I will have to talk DH about it and see if I can get him to nibble when he gets this way or maybe test , so he can see for himself that it is his sugar. Yes stress is a huge part of it and having my whole family under one roof is very stressful for all of us. My stress level is maxed and I know his is too. My mom and I do not get along and Brian knows how she treats me and he gets very protective of me. I try and keep him out of any arguments, but when I am upset .....he can tell. I am just hoping that something breaks soon and we get our house back to ourselves again. We have been exploring options and come the New Year there will be changes made somehow, but that is not for this convo. Just let me say thanks for giving me the info I needed to help DH. Have a great week ladies and catch ya later.
