Diabetes and Cognitive Decline

Diabetes, particularly when poorly managed, is associated with an increased risk of cognitive decline and dementia. Chronic high blood sugar levels can lead to damage in blood vessels, impairing brain function and contributing to neurodegeneration. Additionally, insulin resistance and inflammation, common in Type 2 Diabetes, are believed to play a role in the decline of cognitive abilities. Studies suggest that people with diabetes are more likely to experience memory problems, slower processing speeds, and difficulty with executive functions like decision-making. Early detection and better management of blood glucose levels may help reduce the risk of cognitive decline. Researchers are investigating the underlying mechanisms linking diabetes and cognitive impairment, as well as potential therapies to prevent or slow cognitive deterioration in diabetic patients.
