Does Diabetes Slow Alzheimer’s?
A French study finding that people withAlzheimer’s disease and diabetes have less memory loss than those without diabetes should be regarded with caution, American experts say.
“It’s not clear from this study and others what the relationship is,” said William Thies, chief medical and scientific officer of the Alzheimer’s Association.
What is clear, Thies said, is that having diabetes increases the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease — a relationship acknowledged in the first sentence of a report on the French study in the Oct. 27 issue of Neurology.
