type 3 diabetes to alzheimer's

We performed experiments in the laboratory and showed that very low, limited exposures to nitrosamines (the type found in food) cause Alzheimer’s-type brain degeneration, dementia, diabetes, fatty liver disease and obesity. Adding high fat to the diet made the disease-causing effects of nitrosamines much worse.

s is also called Diabetes Type 3. A book you might want to read is called Brain Grain by David Perlmutter M.D.

Grain Brain: The Surprising Truth about Wheat, Carbs, and Sugar - Your Brain's Silent Killers by David Perlmutter. When I heard about this book it all clicked as to what was causing my cats dementia symptoms. I took her off all carbs and she improved drastically! Only some mild behavioural issues remain. Other improvements seen included weight loss, improved appetite, increased energy, and no more severely itchy face.

Hi idhk7737. A vegan diet may not necessarily be the best option for Alzheimer's for the following reasons: 1. There may not be enough glucagon production and too much insulin release, depending the exact composition of the diet. 2. Excess of carbs may eventually lead to high insulin excretion, insulin resistance leading to diabetes potentially, disrupt insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) levels, which removes beta-amyloid in the brain, a key protein in the cause of Alzheimer's. 3.

I understand the basics of Alzheimer's disease, but I am curious as to why it is typically found in older or elderly adults. I know that as we age our cells change and they can mutate or deteriorate. Since this can happen at any age, I am wondering why dementia disorders are less common in children and young adults. I mean, theorectically, a child could develop Alzheimer's disease, could they not?

So they've diagnosed my mother with dementia of Alzheimer's type after several years of looking for an answer. I really don't believe this is the problem, it just doesn't make sense. Is it at all possible that they misdiagnosed her and she had something like vitamin B12 deficiency?

I understand that people with uncontrolled or long standing type 2 diabetes can progress to "type 1" diabetes where the pancreas can no longer make insulin or no longer make enough insulin (even with drug support to increase insulin production / increase tissue sensitivity to insulin).

Exercise plays an important role in keeping the body and mind healthy . Keeping risk factors like diabetes , hypertension , smoking and exposure to environmental pollution under control may help in delaying the onset of disease .

A friend of mine's mother had alzheimer's and was diagnosed at age 20. She died 4 years ago and she was in her 50's. So, it really depends on if you have some other disease along with it and how severe the alzheimer's is. My Grandfather, on the other hand, had diabetes and alzheimer's and he was 63 when he was diagnosed with alzheimer's. His was extremely severe and only lived one year. So, every person is different.

You mention other drugs in addition to insulin, so the cause could have nothing to do with his diabetes treatment. And of course Alzheimer's is always a possibility. I would recommend that you or whoever is authorized to accompany him to his doctor have a discussion about this issue with his doctor. The doctor can then look at his health history and can better identify what might be the root of the problem.

MCTs can cause certain chemicals called ketones to build up in the body. This can be a problem for people with diabetes. Avoid using MCTs if you have diabetes. Liver problems: Because MCTs are processed primarily by the liver, they can cause serous problems in people with liver disease. Do not use MCTs if you have cirrhosis or other liver problems.

I don't know if I have cancer. I had a colonoscopy performed recently and the results came back negative - no colon cancer. However, I feel that there is something wrong with my body. I have had weight loss. The thing is I can eat. I have an appetite. I had other tests performed.

Hi! The MRI changes you mention are not specific to MS. While a MRI is a must in MVA, there may not have been any recent brain injuries. They are basically area of low blood supply or ischemic changes—'chronic small vessel ischemic disease or demyelination'. These changes are seen in multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's or Wilson's Disease, migraine headaches, diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

s hard to watch a parent fall apart and not be able to put all the pieces to together for them.

Hi Rasha, I have type 2 diabetes. It's tough because six months I got diagnosed and lost my first baby due to miscarriage. However, since being diagnosed, I've really been taking charge of it. I'm 5, almost 6 weeks pregnant again so as nervous as I am, I feel very comfortable about this pregnancy and managing my diabetes this time around. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns, I'm here for you sweetie!

Maintain a healthy weight and eat healthily (and get plenty of exercise) and you have done all you can to prevent diabetes type 2.

I took her off the respirdal and she lived with me for 6 months, eventually made a recovery, playing bowls, bingo and senior citizens. She went back to a home and 3 months ago was put onto respirdal for apparent behavior issues(that in my opinion exaggerated to obtain funding by issuing drugs) she has just had a stroke which in Janssen consumer information states the drug causes stroke, tardive dyslexia, behavior changes, sleeplessness and agitation.

(CNN) -- Greg Kalkwarf was a teenager when his grandfather told him and his brother, with increasing anger and frustration, "Dean, get out there and milk the cows!" There were indeed cows at his grandparents' farm, but Dean -- Kalkwarf 's uncle -- wasn't there, and the grandchildren weren't supposed to be milking them.

Hi! A MRI showing scattered foci of increased T2/Flair signal or what you can call white spots in a patient who has daily headaches or intermittent headaches can be suggestive of migraine. However, a similar MRI picture can also be suggestive of multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's or Wilson's Disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. So yes, a doctor can clinically correlate such a MRI finding with the symptoms and diagnose migraine. Take care!

Eat fruits with other foods to slow the digestion of fructose. Test before and 2-3 hours after eating to see how that fruit affected your glucose levels. You can also Google search 'high fructose foods and fruits with highest fructose levels' for references.

Seeing you are newly diagnosed, ask your doctor to refer you to a diabetes educator. However, do be careful about how much carbs they recommend you to eat. The traditional approach is to ask diabetic patients to eat a high carb diet, but truely this can make it much harder to control your blood sugars. A diet focusing on lower carb foods (with plenty of veges and minimally processed foods) is really the way to go.

Hello, Gliosis is a proliferation of astrocytes in the brain, in areas of damage. This is seen in areas of the brain in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, prion's disease and others. These can vary in size deending on the extent of damage.

CLBear, You might enjoy a diabetes discussion board that's got topics for Type 2s and Type 1s and for the stuff we share. I highly recommend this site: http://chat.joslin.harvard.edu:8080/~diabetes You don't need to register to read the information there, but you may need to register to post (it's free, tho'). Folks who post can choose to be anonymous.

What are you referring to when you say the doctor said it's hormones...the diabetes? I am diagnosed with having Adult Diabetes Type 2. I know mine is genetic because my mom and dad both have/had this disorder. I take a variety of different medications to help with my blood sugars. The two main ones that I take are Metformin and an inject-able pen medication called Byetta. Both help me to keep my blood sugars to a manageable level.
