Diabetes starts to shrink the brain in middle-age and causes accelerated mental decline in retirement, research suggests.
Scientists found elderly people with type 2 diabetes experienced a significant decline in memory and verbal fluency over a five-year period.
Alarmingly, they found the participants – who were aged 68 on average at the beginning of the study – were already showing signs of damage to their brains which they believe had started many years before.
There are currently 3.7million people living in Britain who are living with a form of diabetes
The findings have major implications for the 3.7million people in Britain who have diabetes. Diabetes is the country’s fastest growing health crisis, with the number of sufferers having doubled in just 20 years.
The problem is largely being driven by obesity, with 90 per cent of people with the condition suffering from the type 2 form, which is linked to lifestyle and diet. Diabetes is by itself already a huge health problem, putting the kidneys, heart, eyes and nerves at risk.
But the study, detailed in Diabetologia medical journal, led by the University of Tasmania, suggests the condition also has a major impact on the brain and could lead to dementia.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
