Short-Term Effects

  • A University of Virginia study showed that hyperglycemia in diabetics can slow down their brain function and reduce their cognition. Their verbal ability is impaired, as is the ability to perform simple tasks. The issue resolves itself when the proper blood sugar level is restored.

Long-Term Effects

  • A Harvard University study showed that Diabetes can impair memory and cause a permanent loss of cognitive function over time. It also contributes to hardening of the arteries, which can cause a stroke that can destroy brain function.
