This morning on "The Today Show" a doctor wastalking about new research which makes a link between Diabettes II (or even glucose levels which are a repcursor) and memory loss. Seems that glucose affects the hippocampus where memory resides. Well even the VA now admits a link between Agent oranage exposure and Diabettes II. Its on the list of compensatable diseases. I know a lot of guys are having a hard time proving their claims of exposure because they can't remember the details of their service and where and when they might have been exposed. Well, here seems to be the reason why. It's part of the damage from Agent Orange.which seems to attack the pancreas. I though I'd put this out there and see iof anoyone has talked to the VA or their regular doctor about these symptoms.
