Diabetes and Dementia Are Linked
from Science News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
New research reveals a shocking link between diabetes and dementia—insulin resistance in the brain may be “type 3 diabetes,” and blood sugar issues can directly fuel cognitive decline. Damaged blood vessels, inflammation, and reduced brain flow are key culprits, while Alzheimer’s itself may even spike blood sugar. The good news? Drugs like memantine, metformin, and even weight-loss meds like semaglutide show promise in protecting brain health. SGLT2 inhibitors may be especially powerful. Managing diabetes might be the secret weapon for preserving your mind as you age. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
