Ok I know I need to report this to my Doc. I also know I have seen this written about before(probably wasn't here).I lose my train of thought and can't think of what I was thinking about or can't remember something 5 minutes ago. Happens once in awhile lately. I know I read something about this in Diabetics.Hope it's the meds.This is alittle freaky and I am only 50 years old with type 2 . I am really getting tired of this diabetes junk! Anyone heard of this having to do with diabetes???

That happens to me when my blood sugar is high, say anything above 250. Thankfully as I'm getting it under control, that's happening less and less.
Have you checked your blood sugar when this is happening?

I can relate. Sometime I can't recall the name of a person I've known for years. It has gotten worse lately. Also I am having a miserable time keeping my blood sugars down lately so I am thinking that is why the confusion thing is going on. It is scary though, especially since my Mom had alzheimers. This disease always gives us something to worry about, but if we just can keep it under control...........

It happens to me most often when my blood sugar is low.

Now this is making sense.My BS have been very high since I am in the middle of changing my meds. Doc has put me on a different medicine that might take 3 weeks to bring down counts. Atleast I feel better about posting this problem. I thought you all would think I am NUTS!!!

Nuts? No. Human? Probably. I'm 48 and have had to write down tasks/messages/ideas/etc. for years. I blame contemporary culture, at least in part -- nowadays we're expected to be available constantly and to respond to any random stimulus (e-mail, cell phone, etc.) immediately. I can't remember the last time that I had 10 minutes straight to think through an issue. So some confusion/fatigue might be due to diabetes, but I would bet that some of it is also due to the onslaught of information that we get throughout the day. Not to sound like a luddite, but it really isn't natural to be assaulted constantly.
