Diabetes doesn’t just affect your blood sugar, it can also affect your brain. 🧠
Research has shown that people with long-standing or poorly controlled diabetes may have a higher risk of memory problems and cognitive decline over time. Persistently high blood sugar can damage the small blood vessels that supply the brain, reduce blood flow, increase inflammation, and affect the way brain cells communicate. 📚
Frequent episodes of very low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia), especially in people taking insulin or certain diabetes medications, may also impact brain function if they occur repeatedly. In addition, diabetes increases the risk of stroke and vascular disease, both of which can affect memory and thinking abilities. ⚠️
The good news? Better diabetes management can help lower these risks. Keeping your blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol under control, staying physically active, eating a balanced diet, getting quality sleep, and attending regular check-ups all play an important role in protecting your brain as you age. 💙
