Pharmacological and lifestyle insulin modulation for dementia prevention
A research project looking into pharmacological and lifestyle insulin modulation for dementia prevention.
This research project looks at whether lifestyle interventions, compared to pharmacological interventions, prevent or slow down the cognitive decline of patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Lifestyle interventions, such as physical activity and diet modifications, are the first line of treatment for pre-diabetes and newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. In this review, we aim to compare these conservative management options with the medical management of diabetes, using oral anti-hyperglycaemics or insulin, regarding cognitive decline.
There is an established link between diabetes and cognitive impairment, and many different medicines are available to control diabetes. However, do these medications, by controlling diabetes, also prevent or slow-down cognitive decline in this group of patients?
