My husband noticed my personality changes early on in my diagnoses. (I am a type one on insulin.) I didn't have sudden mood swings before diabetes.
Do take marilyn's advice and check with your health team.
Good luck, (I know sometimes my husband needs it.)
Cheers,
Pamela

One of the side effects of Diabetes is that it makes the person short tempered and they become easily irritable...Probably his blood sugar is out of control. I suggest that he checks his b/s levels daily before and after foods to see what is happening with different foods consumed. Bad moods can also be triggered by low b/s..hope this helps...

Its a big deal for your body to cope with these fluctuations in level and is not normal. Maybe have a talk with your husband and raise your concerns about his moods (try to reflect on how its not nice for him to experience these mood swings as oposed to you, you dont want him to feel cornered.)
Good luck

My health team told me this. Diabetes is a serious, life changing illness. This first step one might feel is anger at the loss of the freedom of life choices. I know that I was very angry in the beginning. Very into my feelings and not aware of the affect that I was having on my family and friends. I gradually came out of it.
Your husband seems to be at this stage. Hopefully in time he'll move on to acceptance and seek help.
If you are recovering from a major surgery, you need to concentrate on your own health. Heal and get better.
Take care,
Pamela
