Welcome!

I have Diabetes, nine years this month. I have my mood swings too, but nothing like your boyfriend. When my blood is low I get real cranky. I don't yell or nothing like that, I'm a calm person I rather not talk.
My blood sugars been high all day today kind of falling asleep on the job. Left work a little early went to bed when i got home. Just woke a little while ago.

Sounds like he needs to be on the insulin pump. Like travis said, he needs to see the dr. And you should go with him.

When he is having these mood swings you should check his blood. Keep track of what the readings are. After time you will be able to tell if he is crashing or if his blood is going high.
Just by looking at him and seeing how he is acting.
He probably can't tell if his blood is droping. And when he does it is a little late.

They have this shot that is prefilled(forgot the name) you give him the shot when his blood is real low.

I knew this couple his name was bill also and his wife knew when he was crashing. He would put up a big fuss , get mad. would refuse to take anying to bring up his bg's. She was kind of cashing him around the room, he was jumping up and down on the bed. she had to call 911. I guess they had to strap him down and give him a shot to bring his blood back up. This happen a few times.

He was on the pump too! He could not get his bg's under control. That is what he said anyway.

He ended up getting a pancreas transplant. He taking about ten different meds a day.
