People With T2D May Be More Prone To Developing Brain “Tangles” Associated With Alzheimer’s.

“People with type 2 diabetes [T2D] may be more prone to developing the brain ‘tangles’ associated with Alzheimer’s disease,” according to a study published online Sept. 2 in Neurology. The study, which included “124 older adults with type 2 diabetes and almost 700 without the disease” and involved functional magnetic resonance imaging, revealed that individuals with T2D “had a greater accumulation of brain tangles – even if they were free of dementia or milder problems with memory and thinking.” Healio (9/3, Oldt) also covers the study. http://consumer.healthday.com/cognitive-health-information-26/alzheimer-s-news-20/type-2-diabetes-tied-to-alzheimer-s-brain-tangles-702934.html
