For those who, like MrsD says, don't follow links:
Here is what I believe to be a relevant quote from the article that appears in the Wall Street Journal here:

Quote:
Alzheimer’s disease is still poorly understood and there are multiple risk factors that contribute to dementia, including genetics and age. Most people with diabetes won’t go on to develop Alzheimer’s disease and are able to live healthy, fully functional lives.
“If we prematurely equate diabetes with a condition as severe as dementia or Alzheimer’s, we’d be doing a great disservice to the 29 million people in this country who hold complex positions and fulfill complex job requirements,” says Samuel Dagogo-Jack, a diabetes specialist and professor of medicine at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center.

I am worried enough with the genetic predisposition and early onset lesions/ memory and cognitive issues (although I attribute some of this to meds) to have speculative links of my Diabetic condition being another trigger.
