Diabetes and Memory Loss

In our presentation, we will explore how diabetes affects both the body and the brain. While it’s often seen as a physical condition, long-term stress from diabetes can also impact memory and cognitive function—reminding us that the body keeps the score when it comes to stress and chronic illness.

The event is free of charge. Light refreshment will be provided.
