High blood sugar levels did not only lead to diabetes , but can also cause damage to the brain , according to new research . People who often experience high blood sugar levels likely to experience memory problems .
Researcher Dr Agnes Floel revealed that diabetes is caused by blood sugar levels are high can reduce the function of the brain and even cause dementia . This not only occurs in people who already have diabetes , but also in normal people who tend to have high blood sugar levels .
These results were found after researchers observed participants aged 50-80 years . The participants did not have a problem with diabetes and brain problems before. After doing some tests and check the level of sugar in the blood , researchers found that seniors who have high blood sugar levels tend to do a lot of mistakes on tests of memory , as reported by the Daily Health Post .
Another study conducted by Convit at the New York State Office of Mental Health 's Nathan Kline Research Institute also revealed that people with high blood sugar levels tend to have a small hippocampus . Hippocampus part of the brain associated with memory .
The results of this study can certainly make a lesson for us to always pay attention to the health of the body . Keeping blood sugar levels to remain stable not only keep us from diabetes , but also keep the brain in order to stay healthy .
