It insinuated that it increased the risk of dementia - however there are so many things accused of causing dementia and cancer as well. I would be concerned about how they got quality info in these studies as there are so many environmental factors - like general diet and exercise that have much more impact than the hypos on health. I think the medical community are very focused on the immidiate impact of hypos- for obvious reason in case your driving or hurt yourself. I was taken aback by the nurse in the doctors labouring the point constantly throughout the appointment, however she was not able to offer me any more advice about how to avoid them apart from jelly beans in my pocket. I think earlier on insulin users need to be told how to find out about the complexities of insulin. I had a hypo early on because I didn't know some quite simple exercise and insulin basics.
