A new study has revealed that elevated blood sugar levels, a common symptom of diabetes and pre diabetes, are associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
According to a study by the University of Liverpool, people whose blood sugar levels are higher after meals are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease later in life.
Blood sugar levels rise after eating when glucose levels increase rapidly and remain elevated for a longer period.
The lead author of the study, Dr Andrew Mason, said the findings could help develop future strategies to prevent this condition and highlight that it is not only important to control blood sugar overall, but especially crucial to manage blood sugar levels after meals.
