With the aid of genetic and physiological procedures, Dr Christophe Lamy of the University of Fribourg has succeeded in tracing the path of neurons in the brain stem which leads to hypoglycemia. A precise analysis of the associated mechanisms has shown that there is a specialised population of neurons which carry out the function of blood glucose sensors in this region of the brain.

Diabetes, high blood pressure in middle age linked to brain damage
Past studies have linked diabetes to increased risk of cognitive decline. Now, new research suggests that people who develop diabetes and high blood pressure in middle age may be at higher risk of brain cell loss and memory and thinking problems, compared with those who do not have either condition or develop them later in life.The research team, including Rosebud O.
Older age at onset of type 1 diabetes associated with lower brain connectivity later in life
Children and adolescents older than age 8 at the onset of type 1 diabetes had weaker brain connectivity when tested later in life relative to those who had earlier ages of diagnosis, University of Pittsburgh Schools of the Health Sciences researchers discovered.
