Dr. Saeed Al-Shehri, a specialist in nutritional sciences in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, said on his official account on TikTok, that white matter is a substance present in the human brain associated with the spinal cord that transmits signals within the whole body and has to do with heart rate control, and very many functions.

What happens to the white matter with high blood sugar?

The white matter helps regulate blood pressure and its function is very important in the human body. Al-Shehri added that the famous medical journal, The LANCET, conducted a study on more than two thousand people in July 2022, and some of them were diabetic and others were not. And they were women and men and they found out what happens to the increase in sugar in this white substance. The study discovered that high blood sugar distorts the delicate structure of this white matter. This is why it is recommended to lower blood sugar. Other studies have linked it to Alzheimer’s.

Treatment of white matter in the brain

The white matter of the brain is an essential part of the central nervous system and plays a vital role in transmitting nerve signals between the different parts of the brain and from the brain to the peripheral nervous system. Certain health conditions can damage white matter, affecting brain function, the ability to think, control movement, motor senses, language, memory, attention and focus.

There is no specific treatment for the white matter of the brain, but conditions affecting the white matter are treated individually and depend on the cause and severity of the damage. Treatment may include medications to treat diseases that affect the white matter, such as strokes, tumors, infections, multiple sclerosis, and psychiatric disorders. Other treatments may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, motor and speech training, psychotherapy, and social support.

Relationship of sugar with white matter in the brain

Studies show that high blood sugar levels can damage the white matter in the brain. When the blood sugar level is repeatedly high for long periods of time, it leads to high blood pressure and high levels of blood fats, which negatively affects the health of blood vessels in the brain and leads to white matter damage.

High blood sugar levels can damage nerve fibers in the white matter, slowing nerve impulses and making the brain work less efficiently. These changes can cause problems such as memory decline, difficulty concentrating, and premature aging.

Therefore, people with diabetes should maintain blood sugar levels within the normal range and lead a healthy lifestyle, including eating healthy food, getting regular physical activity, and maintaining a healthy weight. It is also recommended to conduct periodic blood sugar checks and follow the recommendations of the attending physician to control blood sugar levels.
