If I know 14 women who have type 2 diabetes and all of them later developed Alzheimer's, what can I conclude?

[@juliebutler8241]

That sugar and high carbs in the diet causes it.

Are they taking metformin?

What do you mean we don’t know why? It’s called INSULIN RESISTANCE. The brain cells become insulin resistant thus they can’t feed on glucose anymore so basically they starve to death.

@@bhogarsishyan5769I doubt someone who has developed Alzheimer’s takes metformin, but more strong diabetic medication and insulin injections for sure.
