Irritability

Irritability or mood swings are symptoms of type 2 diabetes. There are several additional medical issues that might induce mood swings. So, if you're suddenly grumpy, don't assume you have diabetes. Mood changes linked with type 2 diabetes frequently emerge in conjunction with other symptoms of diabetes, rather than on their own.

• irritability
• anxiety
• worry
