Managing And Treating Binswanger's Disease

Diabetes Management

Diabetes is not the sole contributor to the development of Binswanger's disease, but it is crucial to managing blood sugar and not let it get out of control. Diabetes management can decelerate the progression of Binswanger's disease. Monitoring diet and making healthier food choices can have a positive impact on an individual's blood glucose and insulin levels. Limiting or abstaining from saturated fats, trans fats, and refined sugars and carbohydrates are highly recommended when managing diabetes. Instead of drinking soda and juice, patients should drink more water. They should also try eating foods with whole grains, skim milk and cheese, fruits, and vegetables. Everyone should also try to switch out white rice and white bread for brown rice and whole wheat bread. Refined carbs, like white bread and rice, can cause blood sugar levels to spike and eventually cause diabetes if these choices are not controlled and managed. Diabetes can aggravate Binswanger's disease, so it's important to maintain a well-balanced, low sugar, and high fiber diet.
