DID YOU KNOW???
Diabetes can significantly impact brain health and accelerate cognitive decline, effectively aging the mind faster than normal. Studies show that individuals with diabetes, particularly those with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes, experience cognitive decline and an increased risk of dementia earlier in life. However, healthy lifestyle choices, including maintaining good glycemic control, can help mitigate these negative effects and promote a healthier aging mind.
