This paper focuses on studying Alzheimer's disease (AD) as a neuroendocrine disease, as there is evidence to show that people with type 2 (DMT2) or type 1 (DMT1) diabetes have a higher risk of developing AD than people without it. Many researchers, especially the scientist Suzanne La Monte, who called AD "Diabetes Mellitus type 3". This name is due to the fact that patients with AD have characteristics of these two pathologies, especially type 2 diabetes. So, it has also been shown that drugs used for the treatment of this disease are yielding beneficial results for AD.
