The link between obesity and dementia is becoming hard to deny

HAVING type 2 diabetes may mean you are already on the path to Alzheimer's. This startling claim comes from a study linking the two diseases more intimately than ever before. There is some good news: the same research also offers a way to reverse memory problems associated with diabetes – albeit in rats – which may hint at a new treatment for Alzheimer's.

I'm not going to let it worry me:

1. All four grandparents had varying degrees of dementia - only one had T2
2. What will be will be - I'm already doing what I can to prevent complications
