Is Low Blood Sugar Effecting Your Relationship?

This research study showed that low blood sugar was a predictor of aggressive behavior towards one's spouse.  This probably has to do with disinhibition of the limbic centers (raw emotional centers) when the prefrontal cortex (executive centers) decreases its function from lack of glucose.  Remember, 1/3 of the body's glucose goes to fuel the brain.  It makes sense that low glucose typically has neurological consequences.
