Is Alzheimer's Diabetes?

The term "Type 3 Diabetes" has been used by some researchers to describe Alzheimer's disease due to the potential link between insulin resistance in the brain and the development of Alzheimer's. Although the exact relationship is still being studied, there is growing evidence that metabolic dysfunctions similar to those in diabetes may contribute to Alzheimer's, but it is not classified as a form of diabetes by mainstream medical guidelines.
