Alzheimer's may be type 3 diabetes

I am putting the link to a time magazine article about alzheimers. Apparently, it is related to insulin resistance in the brain and that insulin and glucophage may aleviate the physiological problems associated with the disease.

That’s an interesting article. I thought that I was the first person in my family to be diagnosed (I have LADA) but my mum died of Alzheimer’s so maybe I’m not the only one.

I also have a few relatives with alzheimer’s. I’m even gladder to be on meformin and glucophage. I have a aunt with advanced alzheimers, but i don’t know if this will help her.
