Insulin therapy?

"A recent study showed that an insulin-based nasal spray was effective against the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease." ABC News.


ABC News reports that insulin nose spray given to 1000 people improved symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease.  Amazing news.  There is not enough evidence for us to ask that insulin therapy be given to those people for whom we provide care, but this is exciting and worth watching.  There has long been a link between having diabetes and developing dementia, but this new information suggests that insulin may benefit the brain of someone with dementia, even if they do not have diabetes.
