Alzheimer’s is referred to as Type 3 Diabetes.

Diabetes increases the risk of developing Alzheimer’s.

This risk can be reduced by controlling blood sugar, following a healthy diet, and exercising. Diabetes is known as a risk factor for the development of Alzheimer’s, and some diabetes medications appear to reduce the cognitive decline associated with the disease. The relationship between diabetes and Alzheimer’s may lead to new treatment alternatives for Alzheimer’s in the future. This could mean an increase in the number of people suffering from this type of dementia, given the growing incidence of diabetes. Since diabetes damages blood vessels, it has been linked to vascular dementia—a type of dementia caused by damage to the blood vessels in the brain. Many people suffer from both vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s at the same time.

While not all studies confirm the connection, many researchers have demonstrated that people with diabetes are at high risk of developing Alzheimer’s—regardless of the risk of vascular dementia. Diabetes also increases the risk of developing mild cognitive impairment, a transitional stage between normal age-related changes and more serious problems caused by Alzheimer’s.

People who manage their diabetes well tend to have better mental functioning. Many people with Alzheimer’s also have a condition called prediabetes, in which their bodies become insulin resistant. Insulin is a hormone that cells use to absorb glucose. Small studies have shown that insulin inhalers may improve memory and attention span in people with Alzheimer’s.

Alzheimer’s is the new Type 3 Diabetes

New research on the widespread degenerative brain disease known as Alzheimer’s suggests that this prevalent form of dementia is actually a type of diabetes. A recent study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, conducted at Rhode Island Hospital (CRH), confirms that Alzheimer’s is characterized by insulin resistance and corresponding brain inflammation—a condition that some researchers refer to as Type 3 Diabetes.
