Study ties higher blood sugar to dementia risk

[adirondacker]

7. I recently finished caretaking my mother for 7 years that suffered from vascular/mixed dementia

Although she had low blood pressure, normal sugar levels and was physically active, I think her overindulgence in sugary snacks and carbs may have contributed to her early onset.

I recently had blood tests that came back slightly high in tryglicerides. Needless to say I'm cutting way back on my consumption with what I thought were "healthy carbs". Fruits contain a lot of sugar as well.

It's pretty much a diet of vegetables and protein for me.
