"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Spikes in blood sugar, a common symptom for people with diabetes and pre-diabetes, are linked to a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease, a new study has found. According to the research from the University of Liverpool, people with higher post-meal blood sugar had a greater chance of developing Alzheimer's disease later on. Post-meal blood sugar spikes, or postprandial hyperglycaemia, occur when glucose levels spike rapidly and stay elevated for longer."
Spikes in blood sugar are linked to a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease, particularly for people with diabetes and pre-diabetes. Researchers from the University of Liverpool analysed genetic data from more than 350,000 people aged 40 to 69 using the UK Biobank. The analysis examined markers of how the body processes sugar, including fasting glucose and insulin levels alongside post-meal blood sugar measurements. Higher post-meal blood sugar was associated with a substantially greater chance of developing Alzheimer's later in life, with post-meal spikes tied to a 69 per cent increased risk. Managing postprandial glucose could shape future prevention strategies.
