[QUOTE="Unbeliever, post: 300626, member: 30851"] If only suffering from some side effects could exempt us from others RRB. My father suffered from dementia - minly short trerm memory loss - after a stroke . Both caused by his diabees remaining untreated although it was known. In the circumstances when all this occcurered he never had a brain scan and we were told his problem was trans-ischaemic attacks. It was necesssary to treat him wih insulin after his stroke and although he lived for about 15 years afterwards his mental condition never deeriorated urher. I was never really convinced abou the diagnosis but there was no point in subjecting him to invasive tests. I have been very nterested in previous reports about the brain producing its own insulin etc. So onvce again , thanks Jim. There is obviously a long way to go and much more to discover but ts interesting. As I obviously inherited my defective gene from my father I may have inherited a tendency to this paricular complication too. Having said that , in his case it was probably a blessing as I don't think he could have accepted the limitatiomns of his physical condition had ghe been aware of it for more than a very shor ime at a stretch. As it was , his resoning power and wit stayed intact until the end. [/QUOTE]
