Ok, I read the article. I have Type 2 Diabetes - only 2 years. I have MANY white matter lesions in my brain (too soon to be caused by Diabetes), I'm 53. My dear Mum was devastated by Alzheimer's, her memory after aged 6 wiped away.

While there MAY be links between uncontrolled blood sugar and ameloid formation, anyone who thinks that Diabetes and Alzheimer's are of the same Family have never had a Loved One stricken with any type of Dementia - had their life and self stripped away from them, had the family shattered by this cruellest of conditions.
