Emerging research is bringing much debate about the term "type 3 diabetes" as a moniker for Alzheimer's disease (AD).

T3D reveals a significant relationship between brain dysfunction and glucose levels, a critical factor in AD.

Regarding dementia, the condition can vary and is dependent upon neurocognitive changes over time. Besides AD, there are other dementia types, including frontotemporal,, mixed , and vascular.

Nonetheless, advanced stages of AD result in significant brain dysfunction, leading to other medical conditions, and such medical complications can be fatal.

Neonatal diabetes occurs in infants who cannot produce insulin. Another form of monogenic diabetes, NDM, is developed by a single gene mutation that interrupts pancreatic beta cell function and forms in the baby’s first six months of life. More than half of the infants diagnosed with NDM have it permanently, while others may experience it temporarily . Finally, steroid-induced diabetes is highly likely for those at risk for T2D due to heightened glucose levels linked to glucocorticoids .
