While we already know that diabetes doubles Alzheimer's risk, and has been called Type III Diabetes by some researchers. This study shows that blood sugar measurements that were within the normal limits, but on the higher side of "normal" were associated with atrophy (shrinkage) of the hippocampus (memory centers involved with Alzheimer's). This research article calls for a re-evaluation of what is considered to be normal glucose levels. In the future I will be discussing what constitutes optimal blood sugar measurements, and what factors influence blood sugar.
