Even high normal blood sugar levels may induce brain shrinkage
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504763_1...rain-shrinkage "Individuals who were considered to have high normal blood sugar levels - meaning below but close to 6.1 mmol/l (110 mg/dL) - had more brain loss in the hippocampus and the amygdala than those who had lower blood sugar levels. These areas are involved in memory and cognitive skills. Loss in brain function is characteristic of diseases of dementia including Alzheimer's, according to the National Institutes of Health." "These findings suggest that even for people who do not have diabetes, blood sugar levels could have an impact on brain health," Cherbuin said. 'More research is needed, but these findings may lead us to re-evaluate the concept of normal blood sugar levels and the definition of diabetes.'" -- Dogman "I have approximate answers and possible beliefs in different degrees of certainty about different things, but I'm not absolutely sure of anything" - Richard Feynman |
