We connect the dots between type 2 diabetes and long-term brain health, showing how insulin resistance, inflammation, and vascular damage raise dementia risk and how simple habits lower it. We share five practical strategies that stabilize blood sugar and protect memory, starting now.
• the consensus that diabetes is a modifiable dementia risk
• how insulin resistance starves neurons of energy
• inflammation and oxidative stress eroding synaptic health
• vascular damage increasing microinfarcts and brain shrinkage
• why A1C predicts long-term cognitive outcomes
• meal pairing to blunt glucose spikes
• 10–15 minute post-meal walks reducing peaks
• stress hormones raising baseline glucose and how to lower them
• sleep quality improving insulin sensitivity and cravings
• quick wins and a three-day tracking challenge
Just try tracking your meals and your movement for three days. If it’s been over a year since your last checkup, book that A1C test with your doctor.
