High insulin levels may signal dementia up to 15 years early, doctor says

High insulin levels may signal dementia up to 15 years early, doctor says

A doctor claims metabolic changes, not cognitive ones, are the first warning signs of dementia, appearing 10 to 15 years before diagnosis. Dr Annette Bosworth, an internal medicine doctor, indicates that elevated insulin levels over time and insulin resistance provide the earliest warning signs. These issues impair the brain's waste clearance and energy supply years before memory problems appear.
