17. Irritability/depression

Diabetes symptoms can be vague, and they may not seem to be related. This can lead to anxiety and unease. These symptoms can affect a person’s mental health. They range from fatigue caused by cell starvation, to reduced sexual activity due to erectile malfunction or recurring bladder/yeast infections.

Diabetes uncontrolled can cause irritability, depression and even apathy. It is important to control blood sugar levels in order to avoid these complications and others. It’s important to consult your healthcare provider if you are experiencing diabetes symptoms, such as fatigue and frequent infections. This will help determine the cause of the problem and develop a treatment plan. It’s possible to manage diabetes in a way that reduces the negative impact on physical and mental health.
