Finding That Memory Loss Is Slower In Alzheimer’s Patients With Diabetes Surprises Researchers
Researchers from France and the UK who set out to investigate whether people with Alzheimer's disease and diabetes have more rapid memory loss were surprised to find not only that they did not, but that their memory loss was actually slower than that of Alzheimer's patients without diabetes. Speculating on the reasons, they suggested it could be the effect of diabetes drugs, or that Alzheimer's patients with diabetes have different kinds of lesions in the brain.
