I’ve had type 1 diabetes for over 10 years, and my husband has had it for over 30 years. I read that hypoglycemia seems to affect your memory over a period of time, and he said he has always heard that, but we can’t seem to find evidence stating that on the Internet. I know that for the past three years, I have trouble thinking of names and places when I’m having a conversation with someone. I feel so stupid at times. Do low blood sugars destroy brain cells?
