And maybe a lot earlier than that;

> researchers have discovered that Alzheimer’s Disease is preceded by DECADES of gradually worsening glucose hypometabolism.

> Brain glucose metabolism can be reduced by as much as 25% long before any memory problems become obvious. As a psychiatrist who specializes in the treatment of college students, I find it positively chilling that scientists have found evidence of glucose hypometabolism in the brains of women as young as 24 years old

As a man in my mid twenties, should I ask my doctor to check if I have glucose hypometabolism?

What would you be able to do with this information?

That's something I would try to find out if it turned out I had low glucose metabolism. No sense in looking into it before it is confirmed.

I'd ask someone with high brain glucose metabolism for advice.
