“Are some cases of Alzheimer’s disease triggered by a form of diabetes in the brain? Perhaps they are, according to researchers.”

“Referring to AD as T3DM is justified, because the fundamental molecular and biochemical abnormalities overlap with T1DM and T2DM rather than mimic the effects of either one. Some of the most relevant data supporting this concept have emerged from clinical studies demonstrating cognitive improvement and/or stabilization of cognitive impairment in subjects with early AD following treatment with intranasal insulin or a PPAR agonist.”

“For a long time, scientists believed insulin didn’t impact your brain. But over the past 20 years, more and more studies have shown that the opposite is true. Scientists now know that insulin does, in fact, travel into your brain cells. And it plays a crucial role in how well you can think and remember things.
When your brain doesn’t get enough insulin or can’t use it the way it should, it appears to affect how well your brain cells function on a daily basis. Some researchers believe that a portion of cases of Alzheimer’s could be due to diabetes that has impacted the brain over time.
It’s important to note that type 3 diabetes is still a fairly new concept. Some experts don’t agree with it, and it’s not recognized by major health groups like the American Diabetes Association.”

FWIW, the ADA is a pee-poor organization.
Thanks!
LOL. Looks like your research echoes mine.
