Key points

  • Diabetics aged men and women can find their uncertainty of dementia?
  • Diabetics should keep their blood sugar less than 6% of hemoglobin A1c to help create conceptual confusion.
  • People with dementia also show signs of inflammation in the brain.
  • Recent epidemiology: studies suggest that diabetes increases the exposure of vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

Diabetics aged men and women can find their uncertainty of dementia? And the change of diet helps diabetes causes and symptoms of dementia?

Diabetes may influence cognitive function of elderly men and women. In a recent issue of the Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging (Volume 10, No. 4, 2006), researchers have shown that postmenopausal women with markers of blood glucose was 7% or higher (meaning poorly controlled diabetes ) have increased fourfoldThe risk of mild cognitive impairment or dementia over four years than women with lower levels of all indicators.

Diabetics should keep their blood sugar less than 6% of hemoglobin A1c to help create conceptual confusion.

A possible reason for these outbreaks knowledge of dementia may be inflammation. People with diabetes and excess abdominal fat can have multiple connections to an inflammatory reaction in the latebody.

People with dementia also show signs of inflammation in the brain. Although it is premature to say that the inflammation could cut the risk of dementia, you want the diet must be considered as an important part of diabetes. Reducing carbohydrates can reduce this inflammatory response.

Diabetes and cognitive decline is silly big health problems among the elderly, in diabetic patients without dementia, cognitive domains, such asmemory, attention and frontal lobe function (diabetic dysfunction conceptual).

Recent epidemiology: studies suggest that diabetes increases the exposure of vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

There seems to be the construction of biological evidence of cerebral glucose metabolism and cognitive decline. If older people with diabetes have serious conceptual shortcomings, can reverse many extra hard. Therefore, diabeticcognitive decline should be well remembered in the long-term management of hyperglycemia.

Some patients have under control, I came into contact with elderly patients have reduced cognitive ability is usually a direct correlation is not their blood sugar.

Diabetic patients I see that everyone is kind of conceptual dysfunction and dementia drug Aricept or Namenda. New products are always contribute to the developmentpatients with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease or related to diabetes or heart problems.

Good blood glucose control parameters is 80-120 mg / dl of FBS and 140-160 mg / dl glucose latest. But always consult your physician what he or she may present parameters. Admit that it is carbohydrates, fruit juice and junk food to raise blood sugar.
