Glucose is the main source of energy for the body and helps use energy to perform all necessary bodily functions.<\/p>\n<p>Diabetes is of two types<strong>\u00a0&#8211; type 1<\/strong> and <strong>type 2<\/strong> and also gestational diabetes, which occurs temporarily during pregnancy. People who have type 2 diabetes, which is caused by high sugar levels in the blood, are at a higher risk of Alzheimer\u2019s disease and dementia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cardiovascular problems associated with diabetes are common to dementia as well. Such as:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Obesity<\/li>\n<li>History of heart issue<\/li>\n<li>Impaired blood vessel<\/li>\n<li>Circulatory problems<\/li>\n<li>High BP<\/li>\n<li>High Cholesterol.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Research states that just like diabetes, Alzheimer\u2019s also is related to glucose not being used properly . The reason could be nerve cell death. In vascular dementia, cells in the brain die due to lack of oxygen.<br \/>\nBeta-amyloid<strong>\u00a0plaques<\/strong>, that build up in the brains of people suffering from Alzheimer\u2019s has also been shown to prevent the insulin receptors of the brain from doing its job. This could impact insulin production and lead to brain cells becoming insensitive towards insulin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reduce the Risk<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Leading a healthy lifestyle which promotes cardiovascular health automatically will benefit your brain too.<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf Follow a healthy diet, focusing on Vit D and B6 and B12.<br \/>\n\u25cf Make sure to indulge in regular physical activity<br \/>\n\u25cf Maintain blood sugar levels: Sugar levels in blood which are considered normal glucose levels are 4.0 &#8211; 5.4 mmol\/L<br \/>\n\u25cf Protect your head when playing any sport or doing any activity which could put it at risk.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/diabetes-and-female-sexual-health-all-you-need-to-know\/\">Read More: Diabetes and Female Sexual Health<\/a><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Invest_in_a_Glucometer\"><\/span>Invest in a <a title=\"Buy Smartphone Glucometer Online\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/37CLE56\">Glucometer<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>All this can get difficult and you may need to check your blood sugar levels from time to time.
