[QUOTE="diamondnostril, post: 1590967, member: 63791"] Hi [USER=444408]@gracefawcitt[/USER] . . . I've been T1 for about 17 years now . . . I recognize the symptoms you describe, these have happened to me a few times. For me the first such occurrence was around 9 years after diagnosis. I remember one occasion when I spent an entire morning at work attempting to write 1 e-mail. Was constantly correcting (and re-making) typos and spelling mistakes and trying to figure out if grammar was correct. Was baffled by the whole experience of trying to write something. Another time, at home, I was able to navigate to the BBC text information on my TV, but was completely unable to interpret what I was seeing. I could pick out some names (it was a report on a football match) but all the regular words seemed to mingle into each other and I simply could not understand it. I cannot answer your question regarding Wernicke's. But from my personal experience, these type of symptoms seem to occur due to specific conditions in the Hypo. For me, in all the times when these types of symptoms have occurred (4 times) it has been when the Hypo has been slow-onset and very persistent. For me, each time it has been a Hypo that started overnight and/or involved alcohol, and my level had stayed low for a considerable time. Perhaps if I have another slow-onset/persistent Hypo like that, then these type of symptoms would appear again. But for me they were in no way "progressive" or indicative that my Hypo problems were getting worse - it just seemed to be that the particular conditions of the Hypo tended to produce those type of symptoms. I have not had those symptoms again in the last 5 years. Hope this is helpful for you :) Antony [/QUOTE]
