Diabetes treatment may prevent cognitive decline in dementia | 9 News Australia
Did you know that diabetes can increase your risk of dementia? Scientists aren’t sure why and there could be several reasons. For example high blood sugar levels can damage blood vessels including those in the brain. Damaged blood vessels mean reduced blood flow which can lead to nerve damage and this can lead to various forms of dementia.
There’s also evidence to show that the younger you are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes the greater your risk of dementia. For example a study we reported on earlier found that a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes before age 60 was linked to a 300% increased risk of dementia. People diagnosed between the ages of 60 and 69 had a 73% increased risk and people diagnosed with type 2 between the ages of 70 and 79 had a 23% increased risk of dementia.
A new study shows promise for reducing the risk of dementia in people with type 2 diabetes.
