Intro To Type 3 Diabetes:
In the video, Maika explains Type 3 diabetes as dementia caused by Type 2 diabetes, where the accumulation of beta-amyloid plaque in the brain is exacerbated by high insulin levels.
He uses an infographic to illustrate how insulin, produced in response to carbohydrate intake, interacts with blood glucose at the cellular level, and how an enzyme, metaphorically called "Pac-Man," clears insulin and plaque during sleep.
Maika advises against eating before sleep to optimize this clearing process, suggesting that managing carbohydrate intake could prevent the progression to dementia associated with Type 3 diabetes.
