Type 2 diabetes simply describes the effects of insulin resistance and elevated circulatory glucose. It's easy to identify the bodily effects, such as autoimmune diseases and cardiovascular diseases, because they work on water-based chemical reactions .....hydrophilic reactions. Nerves and the brain work in a framework of fat-based chemical reactions ......hydrophobic reactions.

Now that medical science has begun to understand some of the brain's chemistry scientists are discovering that alzheimer's, dementia, seizures and many other brain conditions are merely effects of insulin resistance. Just like bodily insulin-resistance conditions, whether or not a person gets one of these conditions, and which condition he/she gets, depends on genetics.
