Why is Alzheimer's called Type 3 diabetes? The Brain Docs

Type 3 diabetes is a term that was proposed by a team of scientists from Brown University in 2005 to describe the association between diabetes and Alzheimer's disease.

This form of diabetes is associated with Alzheimer's disease. Type 3 diabetes occurs when neurons in the brain become unable to respond to insulin, which is essential for basic tasks, including memory and learning. Some researchers believe insulin deficiency is central to the cognitive decline of Alzheimer's disease.

There is a tsunami of diseases of the brain such as Alzheimer’s, stroke and Parkinson’s disease permeating our culture. In our own communities and families, we all have known at least one person suffering from these illnesses and in many cases seen the fallout first-hand. There is no treatment for these diseases, and the emotional, financial and social burden is immense. These diseases are thieves, stealing time, money and ravaging the minds of our loved ones. Lifestyle change is the only answer.

Thing is, inflammation, oxidation and fat dysregulation are also the result of excessive glucose, so part of the same problem. And alcohol is glucose.

I’m loving the Keto diet, and it makes me feel so great knowing I’ll be lessening my chances of dementia or Alzheimer’s later in life. 🎉

Can you cite research that shows ‘if identified & treated early enough, the risk is reduced significantly’?

[carmenolivera]

Eliminate seeds oil, sugar, process foods, keep a low carb intake daily.

Thanks I have Diabetes ( HBA1C 5.5%), I also have one copy of ApoE4 gene. I work hard to keep my blood sugars low.

So why don’t doctors start prescribing AD patients metformin to help reduce insulin resistance and oxidative stress. The patient is already going to succumb to AD, why not allow them to run these tests. The metformin at worst is has no benefit and at best helps reduce the patients suffering by lowering insulin levels, reducing oxidative stress, activate AMPK, and lower inflammation.

From my understanding, the keto diet is not the diet to prevent Alzheimer’s due to the high fat content which perpetuates insulin resistance. It would be beneficial if the Dr’s would address this here.

Great discussion! Dr. Mary Campbell did some research on the type 3 diabetes and they found that the brain processes glucose aside from the pancreas. That is another reason they called it type 3 according to her book. Unfortunately, she fell for the keto coconut as a bypass. Her husband that had early Alzheimer's died from it.

Am so confused now. I was Diagnosed with diabetes and told it was type 3 diabetes. I was told by my endocrinologist that type 3 diabetes is medication induced diabetes or diabetes stemming from a comorbid condition. He told me that it basically means it is diabetes that is not juvenile onset or type 1 and it is not from life style choices type 2.
