  • For Type 2 Diabetics, There's Something Better Than Weight Loss For Warding Off Dementia

    More than 25% of Americans aged 65 and older have Type diabetes, putting them at risk for cognitive impairment and decline. Now, a new study shows that for such people who were overweight, controlling blood sugar levels helps improve cognitive scores. But according to UPI, the study also showed that losing weight and exercising produced mixed results. Study author Owen Carmichael says for study participants, every single improvement in blood sugar control, no matter how small, was linked to better cognition. Weight loss improved participants' short-term memory, planning, impulse control, attention, and the ability to switch tasks. However, verbal learning and overall memory still declined--particularly for people who were obese at the start of the study. Similarly, Carmichael said increasing physical activity also benefited people who were overweight more than people with obesity.
