Dr Chalmers Path to Pro - Diabetes

Diabetes isn’t just about blood sugar it’s about how the body controls it. Insulin resistance occurs when the body stops responding to normal insulin levels, forcing it to produce more and more. This imbalance not only affects blood sugar regulation but also plays a major role in conditions like dementia, often referred to as Type 3 diabetes. Chronic inflammation, poor diet, and stress all contribute to this cycle, making it harder for the body to function properly.

By reducing inflammation, adjusting diet, and managing stress, insulin sensitivity can be restored, lowering the risk of long-term complications. Addressing Type 2 diabetes early can significantly reduce the chances of developing dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases. Understanding and managing these metabolic processes is key to maintaining overall health and cognitive function.
