DR. ANTHONY CHAFFEE: advanced glycation end product of glucose . . . This is what kills diabetics over time is this chronically elevated blood sugar and this is why you lose your toes and then your feet and then your legs and then your kidneys and then your heart and then you get Alzheimer's and Dementia.

 

Glucose molecules can physically fuse to other molecules, called glycation. So it's a non-enzymatic fusion between any carbohydrate molecule, including glucose or fructose which is actually stronger glycolytic action.  And so we measure this with HBA1C test.  That's the advanced glycation end product of glucose.  It is causing damage.  This is what kills diabetics over time is this chronically elevated blood sugar and this is why you lose your toes and then your feet and then your legs and then your kidneys and then your heart and then you get Alzheimer's and Dementia. This affects every single system and organ in your body.
