Seems like an important (non-transgenerational) genetic link may have been found.

Ping - possible diabetes and Alzheimer’s link.

My husband had diabetes, and passed away from Alzheimer’s. I worked in a long term care facility, and noticed nearly all the residents on the dementia unit were diabetic. I mentioned it to the nurses, who said it was an interesting observation, but nothing else.

Interesting of course.. Does controlling or preventing diabetes mitigate this risk? Strong diabetes in my family, some Alzheimer’s, some just plain ol’ forgetful. Time to find the off switch for this gene. I have read about some Chinese herbal combinations that may help.
