Does Diabetes Cause Memory Loss?

This article is originally published on Freedom from Diabetes website, available here. In this vast population, many peoples are suffering from the type 2 diabetes. And the numbers are growing daily, driven by increasingly sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy diets, and daily stress. Lets first understand about type-2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is the most common nowadays. Cause by insulin resistance. This occurs when either the insulin produced by a person’s pancreas doesn’t function as it should or the pancreas does not produce sufficient insulin. As a result, insulin is unable to do its job, which is to move glucose (sugar) obtained from your diet, into the muscle cells. As a result, your blood sugar levels (BSL) rise.

Another effect is that the resistance prompts the pancreas to increase the production of insulin. Uncontrolled, long-term type 2 diabetes is known to cause a number of health complications, including, Heart damage, Stroke, Vision problems, Kidney damage, Damage to the Central Nervous System (CNS), Digestive ailments, Infertility in both sexes etc.

How diabetes affect memory loss?

If people with diabetes have high blood sugar levels and it's unmanaged, it can be very dangerous for them. As result damage body organs. If such damage occurs, it will cause cognitive problems and a condition known as vascular dementia. There is also some research that points to a close connection between insulin signaling and glucose metabolism in the brain. When insulin receptors in the brain senses an imbalance in insulin levels in the body which typically, as we have seen, happens with diabetics it increases the risk of AD significantly.

Protecting Your Memory: The Impact of Diabetes Prevention There are several actions one can take to cut their risk and prevent/control diabetes. Understand one by one.

Do more exercise, Atleast 150min per week. You should include cardiovascular activity resistance training, and balance & flexibility movements. It will be benefial for you.

Always eat healthy. Replace fried, salty, high-sugar, and high-GI foods with plant-based options.

Do brainstroming with puzzles. There is a lot of evidence to suggest that activities like Sudoku, Chess, playing a musical instrument, etc. keep the brain active and help reduce the risk of contracting Alzheimer’s.

Do not smoke and stop alcohol consumption.

Follow these, you will get better result. The right diet-exercise-stress management routine, will not just improve your BSL, but even completely reverse diabetes. Transform Your Health: Manage Diet, Exercise, and Stress!

Tinnitus's Whisper: Unlocking Clues to Cognitive Health

The human auditory system, an intricate labyrinth of sensory pathways, produces a symphony of sounds that paint our perception of the world. Yet, amidst this symphony, tinnitus—a phantom sensation—whispers secrets about our cognitive health. Recent research has forged an unexpected link between tinnitus and early-onset dementia, suggesting that the subtle sounds heard only by the afflicted could hold the key to unlocking early indicators of cognitive decline.

Leveraging the comprehensive Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database, researchers embarked on a journey to untangle the connection between tinnitus and dementia. The revelations were striking: individuals grappling with early-onset dementia exhibited a significantly higher prevalence of tinnitus compared to control groups. This intricate relationship underscores the potential for tinnitus to serve as a quiet harbinger of cognitive decline, necessitating a shift in how we approach assessments of cognitive health.

As the medical community grapples with the implications, this discovery challenges conventional wisdom surrounding tinnitus. Often perceived as a benign annoyance, tinnitus may be an invaluable sentinel of cognitive well-being. Incorporating tinnitus evaluations into cognitive assessments could pave the way for early interventions, optimizing treatment outcomes and offering a new dimension to our understanding of cognitive health.

While the mechanisms underlying this connection remain enigmatic, researchers speculate that shared neurodegenerative processes might be at play. The intertwining of auditory pathways disrupted in tinnitus with the cognitive pathways implicated in dementia hints at a symphony of biology that shapes both our sensory experiences and cognitive functions.

As we journey further into the intersection of tinnitus and dementia, the future holds the promise of interventions that delay or prevent cognitive decline in individuals with tinnitus. The enigmatic whispers of tinnitus are becoming clearer, revealing a hidden melody that holds the potential to transform our approach to cognitive health.

Study finds link between COVID-19 and dementia in people 65 and older 65% of patients tested had new onset cognitive impairment Further research is necessary to identify the exact correlation

A new study says there is a link between COVID-19 and the risk of cognitive decline and dementia in older adults.

A study published by the scientific publisher Elsevier indicates that cognitive impairment may be an important condition that comes as a consequence of being infected with COVID-19. The overall proportion of patients identified as having new onset cognitive impairment was 65%.

The study found that patients aged 65 and up, most of whom were hospitalized for COVID-19, had evidence of cognitive impairment, with new onset impairment accounting for over half.

These findings were true even when patients with neurological symptoms in the acute phase of COVID-19 were excluded.

Further research is necessary, according to the study, to clearly identify the exact causes, the role of vaccination in preventing this and potential recovery from it over time. Vaccination against COVID-19 reduces the risk of hospitalization and further complications.

it is horrific what we’re allowing to happen to children right now. if covid causes cognitive dysfunction and decline in adult brains, what impact will it have on small brains that are still developing? many children who are too young to even be vaccinated are catching covid, as well as a whole host of other opportunistic infections. children can get, are getting, long covid. children aren’t sick often because it’s “normal” or “good” for them—they’re sick often because they’re more vulnerable than adults.

children have no choice but to be sent to schools where they get sick again and again. they don’t have the ability to distance themselves from their parents and establish boundaries, they’re entirely reliant on their carers. if their parents do not believe in covid prevention, they have no means to protect themselves. they don’t have the ability to consent to what is happening to their health.

schools are not just allowing children who are sick to attend class anyway, they’re borderline mandating it. schools as an institution care more about meaningless attendance records than about students’ wellbeing. the classroom is an environment where all factors incentivize students coming to school sick.

there are horrific accounts from parents about kids being sick 24/7, never having energy, struggling with schoolwork. there are horrific accounts from teachers about their young students being different these days, unable to handle the usual schoolwork, showing signs of that classic covid “brainfog.” i’ve seen evidence of schools making their tests and criteria much easier in order to maintain an acceptable pass rate instead of addressing the actual core problem in the slightest.

i often think about a comment i read once about how someone knew it was fucked when no change happened after sandy hook, when the US decided and enshrined the fact that children were acceptable sacrifices. this is how it feels. this isn’t just about the US though. children are getting reinfected with covid again and again worldwide. this is about the entire next generation.

they didn’t choose any of this. they have no power to stop this whatsoever. none of us consented to this, obviously, but children most of all. most of them don’t even have any idea what’s happening to them, and won’t for years.

there needs to be a push for schools to adopt better covid prevention measures, like better ventilation and air filtration. but even more crucial, and much more difficult, is to do away with the ideology at the core of how schools are designed. just like how workers deserve sick leave, children need to be able to stay home when sick. no jumping through hoops for a doctor’s note to be accepted, no strict time limit. schools obviously know that 1 student staying home sick is less disruptive than 20 students being sick and unable to do their schoolwork. they know the math, but they aren’t after efficiency. just like companies know that happier workers are more productive. that’s not the point. it’s more obvious than ever what is choking our societies to death on every level.

i’ve seen university unions who’ve won teachers the right to demand masking in their lessons, the right to have air filters installed in their classrooms. the same needs to happen for K12 schools, especially since young children can’t advocate for themselves. parents could theoretically wield a lot of influence as well—but let’s face it, most are uninterested in or actively hostile to the idea of better air for their children. efforts to combat this need to be organized, sustained, and coordinated.

imagine how current children will feel once they grow up and look back and realize that their health was compromised before they even learned to speak, that they were born into a sick world, that they were born to be sick, not inevitably but because people preferred things this way.

A decline in motor skills is a hallmark of Parkinson's disease, regularly taking the form of slowness, rigidity, and tremors. Yet the condition commonly affects other neurological functions as well, impacting mood and causing a decline in cognition. A drug that blocks a key receptor linked with blood pressure has shown promise recovering memory in models of vascular dementia, inspiring researchers from the University of Arizona to test the treatment on mice with Parkinson's-like symptoms.
