We keep on hearing about more and more research showing the link between controlling your blood sugar and having a better memory.
Yet another study, this one in the February issue of Diabetes Care, shows that people with type 2 diabetes who maintain metabolic control have an improved "working memory" — the kind that lets us keep information in our minds for short periods of time and to finish our day-to-day activities.
"Improving metabolic control and reducing fasting plasma glucose (sugar) levels can lead to an improvement in learning and memory ability," Dr. Christopher M. Ryan, from University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, told Reuters Health.
As I’ve said repeatedly, maintaining proper glucose levels means eating right, cutting back on those culprit carbs, exercising, and if need be, taking your meds.
