Type 3 diabetes

Medical condition

Type 3 diabetes is a proposed pathological linkage between Alzheimer's disease and certain features of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. 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; it may thus be considered a "brain-specific type of diabetes." It was recognized at least as early as 2005 that some features of brain function in Alzheimer's disease mimic those that underlie diabetes. However, the concept of type 3 diabetes is controversial, and as of 2021 it was not a widely or generally recognized diagnosis.
