Several studies have demonstrated and proposed a “brain-centric” model for the development of diabetes, as the brain is actively involved in systemic glucose regulation. The brain detects levels of circulating nutrients and hormones and consequently organizes an outward response maintaining whole-body glucose homeostasis. Patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes have been shown to have mild to moderate reductions in cognitive function. This association between diabetes and lower cognitive functions is primarily mediated by markers of neurodegeneration and cerebrovascular disease.
With the ever-increasing incidence of diabetes worldwide, it has become crucial to understand the complex interplay between the central nervous system and peripheral insulin regulation. Join the renowned physicians Dr. Harish Ramchandra Joshi and Dr. Rahul Kulkarni in our exclusive Global Diabetes Summit,…
