[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 2107070, member: 93179"] I agree with [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER], having suffered for over 5 years worth od zombie brain fog before I was eventually diagnosed with T2. I was eating a very carby diet (due to husband's high carb shopping/cooking preferences). Going to a very low carb diet cleared the fog and has kept my head clear. I'm slightly older than your dad, being a couple of weeks off 77 now. My experience with metformin, which I've no longer been prescribed for the last couple of years, was that it didn't obviously do much for my glucose levels. It was low carbing that brought my glucose levels down and has kept them at low pre-diabetic figures for the past five and a half years. I've also seen research suggesting that very low carb/ketogenic diets are showing promise in controlling Alzheimers. Both my mother and maternal aunt suffered from senile dementia, so that's a big concern for me, especially after my long period of brain fog. But one of the extra benefits of these diets is mental clarity - brains run very nicely on ketones, so it's certainly something worth considering, even though there may be other reasons for your dad's confusion issues.
