Does anyone else have a memory test at their DB review or is it only for the ancient and decrepit ?
CAROL
I'm 66, and I don't think I'm ancient or decrepit - 60 is the new 40! I haven't had the dementia test from DN at my diabetic reviews as yet.
I do have an annual medication review with my GP, and she does the dementia test then, since I reached 60.
I don't remember having been asked to count backwards. Usually I get that address question (42 West Street), I have been asked the year World War 1 started, and the year World War 2 ended, and the Prime Minister's name. I have always got all the answers right so I am officially not demented. Well not yet anyway.
I think it is good that she does the test as I would like to know if I am heading for dementia.
