Insulin for dementia?

NAS80838

My wife has poorly controlled Type 2 along with worsening memory loss and now recurring UTI. Metformin, which she has been taking for 19 years, hasn't helped for a long time. Going for a new consult at a memory clinic on the 18th. There is evidence, however tenuous, that insulin, especially intranasal, can reduce symptoms. Any experiences to share regarding insulin and dementia? Thanks.

  • Scientifically, insulin influences cellular processes such as growth and survival and acts positively on neurons, so I guess insulin is good for dementia. Before starting consuming insulin, it is better to consult your doctor to see its recommendations. Or another choice could be to make an online memory test, which will show you the capacity of the memory in the short and medium term. You can use insulin to treat dementia without worries cause the memory potential can be improved in the detained thought of words.
