Delays in the learning process, bad memory, a certain deficit of attention and less speed to solve problems, are some manifestations of cognitive damage that diabetic patients may present.

Endocrinologist Dr. Sara Brito de González, head of the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases of the Dr. "Carlos Arvelo" Military Hospital, emphasized that the progression of the disease increases by 50% the risk of developing some type of dementia in adulthood in adulthood in adulthood.

The endocrinologist explained that the high concentration of blood glucose, characteristic of diabetes, entails a series of complications that generally affect people's health and quality of life.One of them, still under study, is cognitive dysfunction.However, it is not yet considered a classic complication in chronic aggravation derived from this pathology.

Changes at the brain level experienced by diabetics increase their risk of developing diseases such as Alzheimer's dementia.

According to the specialist, the investigations advanced in this regard reflect that patients with both types of diabetes 1 or 2 are affected.Type 1 diabetics have a wide range of cognitive alterations, which have been recognized in different neuropsychological tests and can also have structural brain damage.In type 1 diabetes, it has stood out in various studies that the impact is greater when it starts at very early ages.

In relation to type 2 diabetes, the doctor reported damage associated with care and speed to process information: “In these patients, cognitive dysfunction does not merit a danger at an early age, nor the appearance of an abrupt change in their mental functions,but it is maintained over time and suffers progressive deterioration with age, ”said Dr. Brito.It is a damage that begins in pre-diabetic states, so early prevention with adequate habits as regular physical activity and balanced feeding are the key to delaying the cognitive deterioration process at this risk stage.

On the other hand, he stressed that cognitive impairment is generally not evident in the normal life of patients with type 2 diabetes: "It is something that goes unnoticed, but in situations of intellectual demand, the aforementioned alterations can come out."

Interesting article, I understand how much diabetes and dementias are joined to Beta Alminoid.Already its entrance into the brain The filter is the hematoencephalic barrier.This was discovered many years ago at the Albert Einstein Medicine and Biomedicine Institute in New York.Where a man studied you read before, who debuted with 12 years and has 83. I can assure that at present, there is a great advance in compression and interconnection remembers the function of brain neurons.Dementia is linked to the Tau protein, it has a scare name.National symbols in its 3D and 4D 3 form from the Soma Cell 4 of the synapse.I hope they do not erase me this comment is well explained and you can search the Internet.If someone wants to do it, I would be inclined to reports from National Geographic.What should be done is the 100 projects in research that share data, and reflect together that is the basis of science.Today it has become like everything into a business.Greetings offer excellent document as you always.
