I shared over at A Hearty Life so I will also share here…

Here is a little update on why thing shave been so slow around Diabetes Notes lately. I had been having issues with migraines, numbness and eye pain over the last few months/years really. Everything came to a head last month and my vision slowly worsened and my left hand and left leg didnt want me to feel that they were there as well as my speech sounding more then a bit off- long and short is they are working me up for MS- I have hot spots/flare ups.

I am having another round of scans and more follow up appts with doctor/numerologist/ophthalmologist. So with all this new normal around here I have been just keeping afloat! I am feeling so much better today and am actually looking at the screen of the computer without having to take a break and lay down in between- small miracle in itself. I went to work, nursing, the other day for the first time in about 10 days and it felt good! I will keep you updated and will keep on writing all about heart health and everything related- might just have a new schedule for writing.

Have a great night everyone- Kendra

There is already a link/thought process that there is a mental decline directly following the consumption of a high fat meal among type 2 diabetics.

“Our bottom line is that consuming unhealthy meals for those with diabetes can temporarily further worsen already underlying memory problems associated with the disease,”said lead author Michael Herman Chui, who conducted the research as a University of Toronto pathobiology undergraduate in the Kunin-Lunenfeld Applied Research Unit (KLARU) at Baycrest.

Besides the very obvious solution of not eating poor nutrition or foods you know you should not have- there is the suggestion that taking certain vitamins or anti-oxidants will help keep these mental problems at bay.
