Alzheimer's care requires focus on metabolic health, says expert
Neurology expert Doç. Dr. Hasan Armağan Uysal from Medicana International İzmir Hospital emphasizes that Alzheimer's disease care must extend beyond memory loss to include comprehensive metabolic management.
Uysal highlights that maintaining blood sugar balance, controlling blood pressure, ensuring sleep quality, balanced nutrition, and regular physical activity are critical for protecting brain tissue. He notes that protecting cardiovascular and metabolic health simultaneously aids in brain protection.
Addressing public confusion, Uysal clarifies that ‘Type 3 diabetes’ is not an official medical diagnosis. Instead, the term is used to describe the relationship between insulin signaling abnormalities in the brain and Alzheimer's. He stresses that having diabetes does not guarantee the development of Alzheimer's. Furthermore, he warns that prolonged high blood sugar and insulin resistance can damage the delicate capillaries that supply the brain.
