#6 Dysglycemia and Brain Health

#6 Dysglycemia and Brain Health

Join Dr. Grady and Garrett, both Type 1 Diabetics, as they talk about blood sugar, overall health, and how to take control of your health to gain the freedom to live the life you deserve.

In this episode, Dr. Donohoe and Garrett discuss poor blood sugar control in the non-diabetic person and the importance of recognizing blood sugar instability. Along those lines, we talk about the role that dysglycemia has in the development of issues with brain function, from brain fog to Alzheimer’s.
