Question - Does diabetes cause memory loss?:

Could you tell if there's a connection between diabetes and memory loss?

Guide Responds:

Diabetes can cause high blood pressure, heart disease and neuropathy that affect the circulation. People with diabetes (especially uncontrolled diabetes) are at higher risk for stroke. Depending on the area of the brain affected by these circulatory problems, memory can definately be affected.

You'll also find it helpful to talk with others who may have similar experiences or problems. The best places to do that are our Forums and Chatroom.
