T:Brain fog and memory problems	
Q:Hi friends,  just wondering will diabetes cause alzeimer 's or memory and cognition problems have some other reason?	
A:I just Googled-> diabetes side effects and didn't see any mention of alzeimer's. 
A:Diabetes and Sleep Apnea can both cause memory and cognitive issues. 
[FWIW,  something like <num>% of people with Diabetes have Sleep Apnea. 
They tend to co-occur. Same with Heart disease and Sleep Apnea]. 
A:I don't think Diabetes and Alzeimer's are linked
A:I have heard though that extremely high blood sugar levels can cause brain damage. 
 Not sure if this is true,  but heard it from a <professional_practitioner> once. 
 A:A good friend in health,  told me about info on <medicine> and the alzheimers link. 
 I trust her and she got off her low dose and I got off my low dose over <time_period>  ago. 
 You can check it out. 
A:Oh,  I've been taking <medicine> for going on <time_period> . 
 NEVER had the fog issue and I was told I have the Fibro stuff.
