“Research shows that people with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes have a higher risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia later in life.
Insulin Resistance-When your cells don’t use insulin the way they should, that affects the mechanics of your brain.
- 1-Your cells don’t get the fuel they need, so your brain can’t work right.
- 2-Your blood sugar goes up, and over time, that can cause harmful fatty deposits in your blood vessels.
- 3-Too much insulin can throw off the balance of chemicals in your brain.
These effects on the brain are so strong that some scientists feel that Alzheimer’s related to insulin resistance should be called “type 3 diabetes.”
