Reply to comment by Sputnik_Butts in Cerebrovascular insulin receptors are defective in Alzheimer’s disease by BlitzOrion

> it's inevitable that we will get Alzheimer's even from micro adjustments

Again with the inevitability... The paper does not state anything about inevitability! And I see no other sources proving that T1D inevitably causes Alzheimer's.

> Alzheimer's develops in healthy people without diabetes, you can't assume there's no risk for a T1.

It can develop. It does not inevitably develop. The amount of old T1s with Alzheimer's is not 100%.

> It's only logical that we have an increased risk, due to even a tiny IR gain.

Some degree of IR is normal. There is no such thing as zero IR. The cause for concern is the pathological IR that is one key aspect of metabolic syndrome. And T1D does not cause that IR, nor does it inevitably (!) increase the risk for it. Occasional excess dosages do not equal persistent hyperinsulinemia.

We just disagree, I still believe that T1 causes Alzheimer's because that's what the pathology of Alzheimer's suggests to me. Have a nice life.

Then say that you believe this instead of stating it as if it were a proven fact next time.

You as well kid

Actually I said "I assumed" and "I'm speculating" but only you have been writing like the words of god flow through you.

Is your bloodsugar good right now?

Yes, you assumed and speculated, then someone chimed in with their seemingly more science based assumptions and also facts! Then you just said no, I have my assumptions.

Yeah they provided more facts, but they didnt extrapolate anything to convince me otherwise from their facts.
