Blood Sugar & Mood Self-Assessment

Blood Sugar & Mood Self-Assessment (Blood Sugar & Mood) · 10 questions · 2 minutes

Research increasingly shows a connection between metabolic health and mental well-being. Blood sugar imbalances — whether from insulin resistance, prediabetes, or simply irregular eating patterns — can contribute to mood swings, fatigue, brain fog, irritability, and anxiety. These symptoms are often attributed entirely to stress or mental health conditions, but the metabolic component is frequently overlooked. Understanding how your body responds to food and blood sugar fluctuations can be an important piece of the wellness puzzle. This self-assessment is not a clinical screening or diagnosis. It is designed to help you reflect on patterns that may suggest a blood sugar component to your mood or energy challenges, and to encourage a conversation with your healthcare provider if needed.

This quick self-assessment helps you explore whether blood sugar imbalances might be affecting your mood, energy, or focus. It takes about 2 minutes to complete. After answering all 10 yes/no questions, you'll see your results with practical guidance.
