Glycemic Control for Cognition

Meaning

Glycemic Control for Cognition is a clinical and physiological imperative that focuses on maintaining stable, optimal blood glucose levels as a foundational strategy for preserving and enhancing cognitive function. This principle recognizes the brain’s obligate reliance on glucose as its primary fuel source and the neurotoxic effects of chronic hyperglycemia or recurrent hypoglycemia. Achieving tight control minimizes metabolic stress on neuronal tissue, reduces the risk of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) formation, and supports neurovascular integrity. Effective glycemic management is a non-negotiable component of any longevity-focused cognitive health protocol.
