Proved: Alzheimer's disease overtakes diabetics

Alzheimer's disease can be a continuation of Type II diabetes, as established scientists. It turns out that the excessive production of insulin, which is observed in victims of diabetes, affects the chemical processes of the brain.

Alzheimer's disease

Researchers from the University of Albany in the US found that Alzheimer's disease   and Type II diabetes   It may be related disease, if one at all is a consequence of the other. It turned out that in the later stages of diabetes often develops Alzheimer's disease . This may explain why nearly three-quarters of diabetics are the victims of the most common kinds of dementia.

It was found that when produced Diabetes Type an excessive amount of insulin to the brain and disrupts its chemical processes. In the end, it creates large mass of amyloid proteins, toxic brain cells, which leads to the appearance of clinical symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. In the UK, type II diabetes there are now at 2, 5 million people, 80% of which have problems with excess weight. Alzheimer's disease affects 500,000 Britons.

"People need to realize that control over its own weight will help to protect them not only from diabetes, which many think is not so terrible disease - said study co-author Evan McNeely. - Type II diabetes is the first step to reduce the cognitive activity. Initially diabetics from -this excess weight will not be able to play with their children in active games, but after 30 years they will cease to recognize them at all. "

The scientific community has long been suspected relationship between diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. But as the first victims of the disease because of excess weight do not live very long, many of them simply do not have time to hold out until the onset of dementia. (READ MORE)
