Episode Details

New research from Boston University reveals a significant link between type one diabetes and increased dementia risk in older Americans. The study found that those with type one diabetes had nearly three times higher risk than non-diabetics. While the exact cause remains unclear, potential factors include vessel damage, inflammation, and insulins impact on the brain. With around five hundred thousand new dementia diagnoses each year in the U.S., and projections suggesting a million new cases annually by 2060, better management and early intervention offer hope. Treatments focus on symptom relief and slowing the disease, with newer drugs like monoclonal antibodies showing promise.
