“Your brain is your body’s command center. To do all its work, your brain uses sugar in your blood for energy. In fact, the brain is the most energy-demanding organ. It needs half of all the sugar energy in the body to function properly.

If your blood sugar levels fall outside your normal range, it can throw your command center off balance. In the same way diabetes can damage nerves in other parts of your body, it can damage nerves in your brain.

Your brain is sensitive to the amount of glucose (sugar) it receives.

Both high and low blood sugar can damage blood vessels in the brain.

Help prevent problems by keeping your blood sugar close to target levels”
