- dghughes 11y agoI've seen articles that refer to it as "type 3 diabetes" or at least link it to diabetes.
- streptomycin 11y agoAlso preliminary. There are a number of hypotheses. The real answer could be one of them, or a combination of them, or something we haven't thought of yet. We simply don't know. The problem is, it's hard to diagnose early stage Alzheimer's and it's hard to look inside the brain of a living person and see what's going on. Combine those two things and there is just so so much we don't know about the disease.
- dghughes 11y agoI know it's all over the place even cold sore virus I've heard is a risk. There is diabetes on both sides of my family (I'm not diabetic) and I get cold sores too but nobody on either side of my family has or ever had Alzheimer's Disease.
