[QUOTE="gracefawcitt, post: 1590925, member: 444408"] I’ve had Type 1 diabetes for 10 years now, but in the last few years I’ve started experiencing a new symptom of hypoglycaemia- difficulty understanding speech (temporary Wernicke’s aphasia?). It doesn’t matter if my blood sugar is 3.9 or 2.0, and it doesn’t happen every time, but I just find that sometimes it’s really difficult to understand speech, specifically text- for example, if my blood sugar is low, I sometimes have a really hard time understanding what I’m trying to write, and am totally incapable of forming a sentence (speech is typically alright and I can communicate vocally what I want to say, it’s just understanding what I’m reading and writing). I suppose I actually have a few questions regarding this: 1. Does anyone else experience this issue with hypos? 2. Does anyone know why Wernicke’s area (area of brain associated with understanding speech) may be linked to hypoglycaemia? Or if it’s not, what the cause may be? Thanks in advance for any help!
