It's more "type 3", since the diabetic types aren't stages. Also, patients can show brain insulin resistance without showing peripheral insulin resistance (diabetes). That's the crazy part.

I have heard of that back when my father was alive and I researched the heck out of Alzheimers to better help him.

It was referred to as 'type 3' diabetes as I recall, as analogus to diabetes in the brain, I'm sure that could have covered an additional progression from type 2 but that it could manifest separately as well.
