For older adults with diabetes, having a more stable hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level over time may be associated with a lower risk of Alzheimer disease and dementia, a new study finds.
Type 2 diabetes accounts for 90%-95% of all cases. [1] In 2017, approximately 24.7 million people were diagnosed with diabetes in the United States, approximately 7.6% of the total population (and 9th in the world).

[1] Specifically, the term refers to a set of common biochemical and metabolic features seen in the brain in Alzheimer's disease, and in other tissues in diabetes; [1] [2] it may thus be considered a "brain-specific type of diabetes."
A recent study has shown that people who take SGLT-2 inhibitors for type 2 diabetes management have a 35% lower diabetes risk, overall. A diabetes drug may help prevent dementia, new research ...

The number of AD patients will increase rapidly in the coming years, as the majority of the Baby Boomer generation has reached the age of 65 and the population of Americans over the age of 65 is projected to grow to 88 million by 2050.
