- riceart 3y agoIt’s a bunch of crap. Maybe shouldn’t look for medical information from a social worker on a clickbait site. Diabetes (specifically Type 2) is correlated with Alzheimer’s - how that makes for a useful new classification of diabetes is nonsense. This would be about as sensical as calling nicotine addiction Type 2 lung cancer. It also doesn’t help > However, classifying Alzheimer's as type 3 diabetes is controversial No, not in the medical community it isn’t. That there are some crackpots and quacks out there doesn’t change that - there is not serious debate ongoing about this in medicine. It wouldn’t be a viable name anyway as the number 3 has already been reserved/in common use in actual clinical and research practice for pancreatogenic diabetes.
