For those who don't know a month ago I been diagnosed as pre-diab and before tests i was experiencing hyperglycemia for couple months and then hypoglycaemia few times what made me to visit Dr finally. it was during holidays and now i am back to education and when i started i forgot major thing we learned. its been like 5 months since i learned this things before holidays, i kept learning some other stuffs in holidays and learned a lot about diabetes. so i don't know if its caused by lot reading, or that my brain got lazy from everyday learning or my mental function and memory declined...i think when brain doesn't get glucose(hypo) then must suffer for sure. do you experience this even you are in young age? if i knew my mental function is declined permanently then i can trow away everything and just get died because i wouldn't stand exist with simple life. plus lot of complications like heart pain in last few years. altrough i am working hard to get my bg down.

Hi Martina
I too am pre-diab and 4 months into a low-carb diet. Some days I feel great whilst others I feel a little light headed and confused (mild-hypo).
What sort of diet are you following?
I don't think the memory thing has anything to do with being pre-diab. My memory sucks at times and I think this is in part due to dyspraxia.
Don't give up home, there's a life out there... x

I cutted out all high carbs, eat just whole food or occasionally some sugar like mussels with white wine, i cant give up this
but it doesnt contain much..then Ricola candies , i discovered it does contain sugars so i stopped to eat it, and i do sport regularly, as soon as i cuted cards, eat regularly and have breakfast with low carbs like pasta, fish,chicken, i feel ok , just had hypos at night but when i discovered its exercise that causing it i eat something before sleep, like few nutts ,apple or dried appricots.
i dont think i am forgeting now, and my brain works good probably, but i dont remember the things i learned last academic year , before holidays. we started work on stuff i learnt few month ago and these i forgot. not completely, just needed refresh memory.
that few months ago was awfull as i didnt know why i am tired, sooo moody,irritated,depresed, angry.everything and everybody goton my nerves., being sick, my grades suffered.i went trough hell and after hypos came in i knew its diabetes.
i dont know what people trough about me before, nobody had a clue why you are like you are. but i just worry if it affected my brain..yet i have to be ******* careful to avoid that hypo essp. at night (which i cant manage always) or i lose memory and have depresion for next two,three day. i can do a sligh mistake in forgeting to eat and it will affect me for long.
i am doing somethink creative in design and i might as well lose the enthusiasm i had before. i ate for reakfast oatmeal with banana and cinnamon as dr said i can eat it, i felt great but in half hour i was getting low again. so i really have to eat something heavier straight away in morning, i cant eat my fav oatmeal or mussli, it gives me hunger and hypo...i also have pain in left chest and cant catch a breath during swimming. i dont know why, during running i dont have it.
plus i want to have kids as i am over 30 but i cant, maybe in a two years but i think its a great risk anyway. they will not give me proper job because sometimes i just get stressed, then tired sleepy. plus forgeting things. i might end up on benefits, childless, with houndreds of desease and surgeries. :***:

We all forget stuff. When I was a teacher, I noticed just how much the kids lost during the summer breaks. To some extent, it depends on how much you were concentrating when you learned it and on your own style of memory.
I often write a shopping list and forget to take it with me to the shops. Last week Iwent to the station, bought a ticket and 5 minutes late, I'd lost it and couldn't remember where I'd put it. You'll be glad to know I eventually found it, cought my train and got to my destination safely. However I remember pretty much every diagram I drew whilst at University.

Hana- reaaaly? I don't know but some teachers assuming we remember all. we just came, he said do your stuff and left. and when he came back he noticed some of us did mistake. it is true for these lessons I didn't pay much attention. In many of them I was tired without proper sleep as those started at 9am during holidays I was focusing on this illness, reading books every day for hours and maybe that also affected this. the things I liked, liked the hours with lector I remember well. also if I didn't feel good, tired and sleepy, and felt constantly like I need a long break in a sea and beach I couldn't pay much attention. ..I don't know but it just shocked me and I felt like complete dummy...the thing is, I think it affected my grades because I was depressed and most of work I did right before submition, its a shame, because I might miss some points that will need in order to get to other course. what do you think?
