Insulin Resistance May Contribute To Language Problems In Women.

, “Insulin resistance, a key component of type 2 diabetes, may contribute to language problems in women that can potentially signal early dementia,” according to a study published Aug. 12 in Diabetologia. Included in the study were about 6,000 adults in Finland. Interestingly, “the association was not seen in men, although the researchers could not determine exactly why that was so.” Endocrine Today (8/14, Schaffer) also covers the story. http://consumer.healthday.com/senior-citizen-information-31/dementia-news-738/insulin-resistance-might-play-a-part-in-mental-decline-in-women-702281.html
