Scientists once thought the brain played little part in diabetes-a disease in which the body is unable to produce or use the hormone
insulin from the pancreas. Now, new research indicates that the brain has its own insulin receptors and plays a big role in normal
blood sugar control. Scientists are only beginning to understand the details of the brain's role in normal insulin and glucose
control, diabetes, and the cognitive deficits associated with the disease. Better treatments for people with diabetes are sure to
follow.
