HIGH BLOOD SUGAR MAY LEAD TO MEMORY PROBLEMS
Raised blood sugar may lead to memory problems, a study has found. Researchers tested the memory and blood sugar levels of 141 apparently healthy people with an average age of 63. None were suffering from diabetes, or experiencing pre-diabetic symptoms. In one test, which involved recalling a list of 15 words 30 minutes after hearing them, higher blood sugar correlated with poorer memory. Scans also showed that the hippocampus brain region, which is important to memory, was smaller in those with higher blood sugar.
