Alzheimer’s disease and diabetes:  

Research shows that people with adult onset diabetes (sometimes called Type-2 Diabetes) are twice as likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease.

There are many health complications that go along with diabetes and the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease should be one risk that prompts people to manage their illness.
