Study: Insulin Nasal Sprays Help Ease Alzheimer's Symptoms

The researchers found that subjects who took the nasal spray for 21 days showed significant improvement in being able to retain and process verbal and visual information in the short term. Improvements were even seen in people who have the APOE-e4 gene, which has been historically resistant to other therapies and interventions.
