High blood sugar as seen in people with Diabetes has been found to cause memory loss and dementia. The complications of high blood sugar levels are well documented as seen in poor circulation causing amputation, blindness, kidney failure, heart attack and stroke. This is additional research demonstrating the impact of high blood sugar levels on the brain.
For over 5 years the researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center have been studying the impact of Diabetes and brain health. They reported in Diabetes Care, Diabetics have 2 inflammatory cytokines (molecules measured in the blood) that are elevated and cause damage to the blood vessels in the brain causing atrophied brain tissue. This developed in the gray matter in the brain’s frontal and temporal region responsible for critical functions as decision-making, language, verbal memory and complex tasks.
This research was conducted on 167 subjects averaging 65 years of age. Blood level of cytokines were compared with functional MRI brain scans. Those individuals with Diabetes had higher levels of cytokines and corresponding higher areas of brain damage.
This study mirrors previous research from Harvard Medical School demonstrating brain volume in diabetics shrinks as much as 15% a year compared to non-diabetics which shrinks only 1% a year.
Most individuals are concerned about aging as the possibility of developing memory loss and Dementia. An important step in preserving memory and brain function rests in proper blood sugar control.
