    Diabetes and dementia: connecting the dots
    Sep 4 2025
    What do type 2 diabetes and dementia have in common? More than you might think. In this episode, host Phyllisa Deroze speaks with Professor Kaarin Anstey, a leading expert in ageing and brain health, to unpack the growing evidence linking the two conditions. Drawing on insights from the 11th Edition of the IDF Diabetes Atlas, they explore how the age of diabetes onset, vascular risks, and long-term management can influence cognitive decline. With dementia cases rising fastest in low- and middle-income countries, this conversation shines a light on why early detection, lifestyle interventions, and integrated care must be part of the global health agenda.
