Today we’re going to talk about the diabetic brain.
The brain uses 20% of all of the energy generated in the body—it’s an energy hog.
Diabetes type 3 is Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s is really diabetes of your brain. The effects of high blood sugar cause atrophy of certain parts of the brain, which then causes a loss of memory and much more.
There is something called Nasal Insulin Delivery, which is believed to enhance memory. A healthy brain has 4 times as much insulin and 10 times as many insulin receptors. This means that when you have diabetes, you have an insulin deficiency, as in insulin resistance. We need the right amount of insulin in the brain for it to work correctly.
The brain does not store glycogen. It’s dependent on glucose from your blood.
