Diabetic Men May Experience Severe Mood Swings
Most of the time, news concerning diabetes seems to be aimed at women. Usually, articles concerning men deal with impotence. But men may also experience more severe problems with their diabetes: aggression and frightening mood swings.

This interesting study is well worth the read.

Nutritional researcher Sam Graci notes that as men age, their hormonal health changes dramatically as testosterone levels are depleted and oestrogen levels rise. This is known as Andropause. When these hormonal changes are also compounded with the blood sugar fluctuations of type 2 diabetes, some unusual patterns of mood and emotions can manifest in older men.

What men eat, and when, affects the major hormones that keep them emotionally and physically fit. Dietitians and doctors also point to the benefits of regular exercise and communication in managing these issues.

Many men go through a period of guilt, anger and remorse when they find out they have type 2 diabetes. They know that, through their lifestyle choices, they may have contributed to the development of a condition that will change their life forever. Or they may blame others for 'leading them' to their current state.


Men: have you experienced any of these symptoms? How do you deal with them?
