Today we’re going to talk about the diabetic brain.

The brain uses 20% of all of the energy generated in the body—it’s an energy hog. 

Diabetes type 3 is Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s is really diabetes of your brain. The effects of high blood sugar cause atrophy of certain parts of the brain, which then causes a loss of memory and much more. 

There is something called Nasal Insulin Delivery, which is believed to enhance memory. A healthy brain has 4 times as much insulin and 10 times as many insulin receptors. This means that when you have diabetes, you have an insulin deficiency, as in insulin resistance. We need the right amount of insulin in the brain for it to work correctly. 

The brain does not store glycogen. It’s dependent on glucose from your blood. 

60% of your fat turns into fatty acids that your heart and muscles can use as fuel, but not the brain. 40% of the fat can turn to ketones, which your brain not only can run on, it loves to run on ketones. If you have ketones and glucose in your blood, the brain will always pick ketones as fuel over glucose.

Benefits of ketones for the brain:

• Ketones can act as an antioxidant in the brain 
• Ketones have anti-inflammatory properties
• Ketones can increase oxygen in the brain 
• Ketones can bypass some of the damaged neurons and feed the brain directly 

To run on ketones, you have to bring your carbs down to at least less than 50 grams per day. The average person in America consumes almost 300 grams of carbs.
