Renee my grandaughter and David's mom Sharon. Both David and his mom suffer
from diabetes and could use your prayers. He as he struggles to live a life
in light of his diabetes and Sharon as she just struggles. Whitney as she cares
for David, Renee and Sharon.
Under results of a new study, hypoglycemia, which is a drop in
levels of blood sugar, and is severe enough to cause seizures or
coma in young children with type 1 diabetes (those who develop
the disease very early in life) does not appear to result in
impairments in mental ability or behavior.
According to experts and scientific evidence, the hippocampus (a
region of the brain) is particularly sensitive to prolonged
episodes of severe hypoglycemia. And experts stated that "young
children with type 1 diabetes are at greatest risk of severe
hypoglycemic events, and this has focused concern on the
potential for hypoglycemic insult to impact on central nervous
system development".
After compare 41 type 1 diabetic adolescents and children -who
had a history of hypoglycemia with coma or seizure- to 43
similar diabetic subjects but without a history of severe
hypoglycemic events, findings demonstrate that a subgroup of
patients who had early first seizure showed more episodes of
hypoglycemic seizure or coma in comparison to those who
experienced a seizure at an older age.
The team applied different tests of learning and memory, but
also intellectual and behavioral tests. The astonishing thing is
that there were no significant differences between the seizure
and no-seizure groups on the intellectual, memory or behavioral
measures.
The main conclusion of the report is that results provide "some
reassurance to those treating children with type 1 diabetes with
intensive treatment that seizures/coma at a young age does not
necessarily result in gross cognitive or behavioral impairment".
