Hi I'm blackwood77 and a new member. Husband has dementia and type 2 diabetic
Is glucose level a factor if dementia worse?
Is glucose level a factor if dementia worse?
I don't know for certain but I think in someone without dementia there is a change in mood with a high blood sugar (with a low blood sugar it is different again). One of my diabetic friends put a chart on facebook only today which was supposed to be funny, lots of different smiley or frowny or tearful faces depending on the time of day and what she had eaten, what her sugar levels were like.
Is your husband in control of what he eats or is this a problem now? Do you check his sugar levels and have you noticed changes, and are you able to subtly control what he eats?
Hi,
If blood sugar levels are fine then there is nothing to worry about. Presumably your GP does occasional (maybe 6 monthly) blood tests (Hba1c) to monitor levels. The Hba1c gives an indication of what the blood sugar level has been over the previous 12 weeks, so medication can be amended accordingly.
