I Don't Want To Pry Into Anyone's Medical Situation, Could I Ask If Anyone Here Or Knows Of Someone With Alzheimers That Is Not A Diabetic?

A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

I am reading so much about people who has alzheimers have diabetes and if you control the diabetes then you have a chance of getting rid of alzheimers. This is completely against everything I have learned and did my medical classes report on. I know we all hope there will be a cure. Unfortunately I think research is grasping at air.

A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

My Father-in-law Is Not Making Any Sense. He Talks With Regular And Made Up Words All The Time. How Do Other Caregivers Handle This?

A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

I'm also wondering if this really is "normal" for dementia. All of my dementia information says that people with this disease will sometimes not make sense. However, he is not making sense all of the time. He's seeing things that aren't there and making up words. Just curious as to if anyone else is dealing with this or is this really out of the ordinary. Thanks!
