Would like to hear a "Brief" about the correlation of Lewy with Type I diabetes. Is there a correlation in any way or just coincidental that my husband has had Type I Diabetes for nearing 60 years and now has Lewy?

This was a great video with good information thank you for doing this I look forward to seeing seeing more. Yes it has been very difficult for me here in Canada Ontario for my Dr's appointments and workers could not visit me.

What age is LBD observed to onset in patients. 60s? 70s? 30s? 50? Or even teens? Or could it be congenital? Might people be born with it but undiagnosed because symptoms ("presentations") aren't obvious?

My hubby was recently diagnosed so all this is very new to me. My main problem right now is getting him to drink enough water. I notice if he doesn't drink enough water the next day his symptoms are much worse. What advice do you have to enticing him to drink water or take anything that will benefit him?
