Spouses with low blood sugar get angrier at each other - Daily Dose: The study monitored the blood sugars of 107 married couples every evening for 21 days. The individuals were asked to fill out a questionnaire about their satisfaction with their marriage. They also received a voodoo doll of their spouse and 51 pins. The researchers found that people with lowest blood sugar levels inserted twice as many pins into the dolls compared to those with higher blood sugar.
The second half of the experiment turned the spouses against each other in a game. A square turned red on a computer screen and the person who pressed a button in response first won. The winner could make their spouse, who was in a separate room, listen to loud unpleasant sounds through headphones. People with low blood glucose made their spouses listen to the sounds for a longer period than the people who had normal blood glucose levels.
