Type 3 diabetes
Type 3 diabetes is a title that has been proposed for Alzheimer's disease which results from resistance to insulin in the brain.
Overview[edit | edit source]
Type 3 diabetes is a term that has been proposed to describe the hypothesis that Alzheimer's disease, a neurodegenerative disease, is triggered by a type of insulin resistance and insulin-like growth factor dysfunction that occurs specifically in the brain.
Symptoms[edit | edit source]
The symptoms of type 3 diabetes are similar to those of Alzheimer's disease, and may include memory loss, confusion, difficulty speaking, and mood changes.
Causes[edit | edit source]
The exact cause of type 3 diabetes is not known, but it is believed to be related to insulin resistance in the brain. This resistance leads to a decrease in the uptake of glucose by the brain cells, which in turn leads to a decline in cognitive function.
Treatment[edit | edit source]
There is currently no cure for type 3 diabetes. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and slowing the progression of the disease. This may include medications to treat memory loss and other cognitive symptoms, as well as lifestyle changes to improve overall health and wellbeing.
