Why diabetes patients may be at higher risk of dementia

There’s long been a suspected link between metabolic disorders and brain health, but a new study says that diabetics are more likely to develop dementia - and those with type 1 diabetes are at a higher risk.

People with type 1 diabetes are nearly three times more likely than those without diabetes to develop dementia. People with type 2 diabetes are two times more likely to develop dementia than those without the condition.
