Short Term Memory and Low Carb Diet

2 incidents of Mary revealing her short term memory working without repetition, prompting, or writing it down. Telling her brother on the phone without prompting about the deer we saw yesterday. Also, noting the goop on a knife was from a banana she had cut up earlier.
In both cases she was relaxed and happy. Her short term memory almost never works when she under pressure, excited, and/or angry. On one hand, she has high standards. On the other, she is and loves being retired.
I have noted bunches of research that Alzheimer's, dementia, and of course Type 2 diabetes improves if carbs are restricted and protein and fat are moderate and at times generous. Within the confines of Mary's precise personal taste and fierce independence, I have endeavored to followed the Diabetic's Association's recommendation of limiting Carbs 15 Carbs a day (each Carb being 15 grams of carbohydrate each) and Mary is meeting or beating that goal daily.
According to Virta, a leading group for curing Type 2 Diabetes, a patient is in remission from Type 2 Diabetes is under 6.5 on their bA1c blood sugar count. Mary has been under that for over a year.
God is good.
