Blood sugar spikes after meals may raise Alzheimer's risk by 70%, study of 350,000 warns

What happens to your blood sugar after eating could have a major impact on your brain health down the line, scientists have warnedScientists at the University of Liverpool have discovered that people who experience sharp glucose spikes following meals face a 69 per cent greater chance of developing Alzheimer's disease.The team analysed genetic information from more than 350,000 individuals who took part in the UK Biobank study, making it one of …

This after-meal blood sugar spike may raise Alzheimer’s risk

Spikes in blood sugar after eating may be more dangerous for the brain than previously thought. In a massive genetic study, people with higher post-meal blood sugar had a much greater risk of Alzheimer’s disease. The effect couldn’t be explained by visible brain damage, suggesting hidden biological pathways may be involved. Researchers say managing blood sugar after meals could become a key strategy for reducing dementia risk.
