   Diabetes patients who have type two diabetes generally tend to be obese and have high blood pressure with a tendency for cardio vascular diseases. This means that the diabetic person is already at a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. In fact some studies have proved that a diabetic is at a 65% higher chance of developing the disease.

   Alzheimer’s disease effects the brain and there is a loss memory and brain functioning over a period of time. The excessive level of blood insulin thanks to incorrect medication doses for a diabetic person can also damage the brain by stimulating inflammation. This increases the levels of a toxic protein which is known as beta amyloid which is a critical symptom of Alzheimer’s disease.

   Some insulin sensitizing drugs can help improve the memory and brain functioning of a person with mild or moderate Alzheimer’s disease. The drug help by boosting the capacity of the brain cells to produce energy. Other than drugs, mild exercise and eating the right food can help retard brain damage in diabetic patients.

   Carbohydrates with a low Glycemic Index or GI are good for memory boosting. So eat more whole grains and pasta which have a low GI rather than foods which have high sugar content. Also eat fish with omega-3 fat as this also helps retard Alzheimer’s Disease.
