Q. My sister is overweight and her doctor says she is prediabetic. She is trying to become healthier and exercise more often to prevent it from becoming diabetes. She read somewhere that there is a correlation between diabetes and Alzheimer’s. I thought that it was all speculation that diabetes is somehow related to cognitive decline. Are there any new studies that prove that
there is or isn’t a connection? If they are in fact connected, is there a relationship between age at diabetes onset and the risk of developing Alzheimer’s? Thanks for your help!
