Yesterday on the Diane Reem (spelling?) show on NPR the topic was Alzheimer's disease. The expert did say that diabetics were more likely than non-diabetics to get Alzheimer's. I don't remember him quantifying the correlation though. And of course he named other factors that correlate with Alz', including middle age hypertension and middle age onset obesity --which are both so common anyway. Evidently if you get high BP or fat before middle age, the correlation is not as high. Imagine that!
