Severe Hypos May Impair Spatial Memory

I believe this applies to all T1 diabetics that have suffered severe hypos. Sometimes I really wonder if this was true. I believe there are a lot of T1 that have noticed this, like me, at some point of having this disease for so long.

So, going Hypo causes the same damage as Drinking too much





Uh, OH that means that $#@& is in trouble.

Now you tell me. I always wonder why I drive in circles hunting for my house. LOL, j/k.

I can't believe this! I'm starting to wonder now about things that I'm bad at and don't like. I am always getting lost and have a terrible sense of direction. I hated geometry and spatial picture problems on the SATs in high school. Not to brag, but I'm a fairly intelligent person and have an excellent memory for facts, words, numbers, and sequences, and I've always wondered why I hate things like packing, video games, shapes, and doing puzzles. Could this all be related to hypos when I was younger? I was diagnosed when I was six, and it seems possible to me that this could all be related. Wow! The only thing that doesn't fit is that I am a dancer and have to remember movement and spatial coordinates all the time, and I do fine with that. How interesting....you learn something new everyday!
