November is National Diabetes Month in the United States. Many people don’t know that having diabetes can put your brain health at risk. Diabetes can damage blood vessels, which results in reduced or blocked blood flow to the brain. This can increase your risks for Alzheimer’s disease, memory loss, and confusion.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has useful tips and resources to help manage blood sugar and protect your brain health. Many resources, including the flyer Healthy Blood Sugar, Healthy Brain, are available in both English and Spanish versions.
