Type 3 diabetes is a proposed term for Alzheimer's disease resulting from an insulin resistance in the brain. The categorization is not embraced by the medical community, though a limited number of published reviews have forwarded putative mechanisms linking Alzheimer's and insulin resistance.[1][2][3][4]
The term has been widely applied within alternative healthcare circles.
Other instances of the term:
- Type 3c (Pancreatogenic) Diabetes is a form of diabetes that relates to the exocrine and digestive functions of the pancreas.[5]
