Prevention of Diabetes Among the Elderly

The study of 148,519 people found the death rate among people 65 and older was 10 percent per year among those with diabetes and 6 percent per year among those without diabetes. These new findings suggest that prevention of diabetes among the elderly should be a priority. (Diabetes Research)

LADA or Diabetes 1.5
|
|
Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA), also called slow-onset diabetes or diabetes 1.5, has similarities both to type 1 and type 2. Often it is not recognized as LADA or type 1.5, because at first it looks like and reacts positively to treatments for type 2. However, it ends up revealing itself as an autoimmune form of diabetes, more like type 1. (Type 1 Diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes, Diabetes Education)

A statistical analysis found that people with diabetes had a much higher rate of developing Alzheimer's disease than those who don't have diabetes.

Causes of Type II Diabetes
|
|
Unlike people with type I diabetes who become unable to produce insulin, people with type II diabetes produce insulin. But, either the body does not respond to insulin's action-it's resistant-or there is just not enough insulin to go around-there's too much body for the amount of insulin that's made. Either problem leads to the same outcome: high levels of glucose in the blood. (Type 2 Diabetes and Diabetes Education)
