Low blood sugars are a BEAR to manage, and yes, they cause some erratic mood swings -- sometimes, beyond the control of the person.<br /><br />If your angry diabetic has frequent lows, it might be time for him revisit a plan with his medical team. It might just bee that he needs a medicine adjustment, or to better 'preemptively' plan for his lows, before they even happen. <br /><br />For example, if he has a common physical activity he does, every day, planning for a 15 gram of carbohydrate snack with some protein and fat, at an appropriate time, is going to be key to avoid having to treat a low, later. <br /><br />The closet things we have to 12 step programs are support groups... :) And finding one in your community for him can be a godsend too. He can vent/talk to others in his place, let some steam out, and find ways to help himself, without feeling 'policed.' :) <br /><br />Feel free to check out my most recent post, which is exactly on anger. :D <a href="http://theangrytype2diabetic.blogspot.com/2012/04/are-diabetics-angry.html" rel="nofollow">"Are Diabetics Angry?</a>Lizmarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07807048593487676705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2701506015859560674.post-31180301177753581852012-04-29T17:47:48.350-05:002012-04-29T17:47:48.350-05:00I am dealing with an angry diabetic bird. he is in...I am dealing with an angry diabetic bird. he is in his late 39s and for the last 4 yrs he has been dealing with diabetes. <br />I find that when his sugar is down he is rude, angry and unbearable....

It sounds to me like you have some great tools to deal with it.
