Study: Insulin Nasal Sprays Help Ease Alzheimer's Symptoms

Newly published research demonstrates that taking a man-made form of insulin nasal spray improves memory and cognition in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. 

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. 

Insulin has been shown to play a part in memory processes and regulating blood sugar. Nasal insulin sprays have the benefit of allowing insulin to reach the brain without creating a blood sugar imbalance.
