Sugar matters to everyone - not just people who have been diagnosed with diabetes.
When it comes to our cognitive health, having low blood sugar levels can lead to feelings of brain fog and fatigue, and can even be life threatening if they drop low enough. On the flip side, when our blood sugars are high for many years the excess sugar can gradually damage many of our organs, including our brain. If our blood sugars are very high, we can get immediate effects like confusion, agitation, and brain fog, and this can also be life threatening if severe enough. Summary: Staying within healthy blood sugar levels the majority of the time can have a big impact on your day-to-day life and longterm brain health.
