Diabetes and Memory Impairment
Filed in archive Blogs, Blogging & Blogosphere , Information by Gloria Gamat on September 17, 2007
Diabetes indeed affects the memory of the patient. The better treatment for diabetes, the better your memory will get.

Diabetes and Memory Impairment


Lifted from this old post:

Dr. Christopher M. Ryan, from University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, told Reuters Health:

"Many of the patients with type 2 diabetes may have evidence of mild cognitive dysfunction.

Improving metabolic control and reducing fasting plasma glucose (sugar) levels can lead to an improvement in learning and memory ability."


So fitting that I just found Scott's Diabetes Journal where in a recent post he complained of short-term memory:

I could not remember what my blood sugar was! In the fraction of a second that it took me to read the result and position my mouse pointer on the computer, the number was gone. Vanished. Nowhere to be found in the vast space of empty that is sometimes called my brain.

I paused, thinking to myself "I couldn't possibly have forgotten that number so quickly". I was kind of disturbed and worried.


Check out Scott's Diabetes Journal regularly.
