The Impact of Glucose Levels on Cognitive Function in Diabetes
The concept of "Type 3 diabetes" as it relates to Alzheimer's disease is based on the idea that neuronal insulin resistance may contribute to the dysfunction and degenerative processes of Alzheimer's. However, the complexity of Alzheimer's disease suggests that it is likely influenced by multiple metabolic processes, making it premature to label it as Type 3 diabetes. While insulin resistance may play a role in Alzheimer's pathology, it is important to continue focusing on preventing and treating diabetes and maintaining good lifestyle habits, as well as controlling blood pressure, as part of overall efforts to support brain health.
