The link between diabetes and Alzheimer’s.
If you have been diagnosed of diabetes (either type I or type II), watch out, because recent studies show that diabetes is in fact connected with the dreaded Alzheimer’s disease. Before, the connection’s foundation was blurred according to the experts as they could not find the direct link that will establish the connection of diabetes with Alzheimer’s however, researchers from the Salk Institute claimed that they have found it: the Alzheimer’s interaction. They said that the brain’s blood vessels are damaged or ruptured if the blood glucose count is high. Salk Institute plans to further their research to determine if there are still other factors to it.
