Cognitive compensation can hide underlying pathology in the brain.
Diabetes is known to cause many medical issues, from heart disease to vision problems 鈥 and now a new study suggests it could also impact memory and other cognitive functions.
A new study by the 性视界传媒 Research team has found a connection between diabetes and memory loss. It also shows high blood sugar levels appeared to mimic Alzheimer's disease.
Mel May, an Australian video producer, discovered she lacks inner speech, a condition called anendophasia, which affects her thought processes and memories.
Researchers have long assumed that having an inner voice is a universal human experience, but a new study reveals that this isn't the case. Approximately 5-10% of the population doesn't have an inner voice, which can affect their performance on certain memory tests, the study found. This phenomenon, recently dubbed "anendophasia," was only formally identified last year. "People are ignorant about the characteristics of their own inner experience. And it doesn't matter how confident you are," Russell Hurlburt, a psychology professor at the 性视界传媒, told AFP.

More than 36 million Americans have type 2 diabetes, meaning their blood sugar levels are always top of mind. After all, when people with diabetes have blood sugar levels that are too low or too high, it can cause uncomfortable symptoms like brain fog and moodiness. And if you develop hypo- or hyperglycemia (when your blood sugar is way too high or too low), you can also suffer from pretty serious health issues including a diabetic coma.
