researchers discovered that the brain was also responsible to producing small amounts of insulin. This discovery led to several more important revelations. One of those revelations was the discovery of insulin's effect on the brain. One of those effects on the brain is the development of diabetes mellitus 3. Type 3 diabetes is a condition where the brain does not produce enough insulin. In the absence of insulin, the brain is affected much the way the body is in type 1 or type 2 diabetes. In fact, diabetes mellitus 3 only occurs in people who have either type 1 or type 2 diabetes already. Type 3 Diabetes: Alzheimer's in Disguise Diabetes mellitus 3 is also known as brain diabetes. This is because the brain requires insulin to form new memories. Receptors on the brain's synapses help facilitate the communication that creates new memories. The insulin produced by the brain wards off amyloid beta-derived diffusible ligands (ADDLs) that destroy those receptors. In diabetes mellitus 3, the brain is either doesn't produce enough insulin for new memory formation or is resistant to the insulin it produces. Without insulin, those insulin receptors die. Without those insulin receptors, the brain can't form new memories. This inability to form new memories is what produces the type 3 diabetes symptoms, signs and difficulties that mimic those of Alzheimer's and dementia. Sufferers experience the memory loss and confusion that is typical of both diseases. Because of the similarity of these diseases, doctors often have trouble diagnosing diabetes mellitus 3 unless they are specifically looking for it using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanning technology. Type 3 Diabetes: Prevention Diabetes mellitus 3 was only officially recognized as an illness in 2005. One of the keys to treating and preventing the onset of diabetes mellitus 3 is to exercise. Regular exercise three to five times a week combined with a healthy diet helps to maintain the healthy weight that wards off the disease. Obesity — especially in women — is a key factor in the onset of both type 2 and type 3 diabetes. Diabetes mellitus 3 is a newly-discovered disease that leaves many questions still to be answered. But as we discover more about all types of diabetes, treatments are improving. If you or someone you know is suffering from the symptoms of type 3 diabetes, contact your doctor as soon as possible to catch and treat type 3 diabetes in its primary stage. TYPE 3 DIABETES is a condition where the brain does not produce enough insulin. Abby's Magazine - Volume 6 Issue 1| Page 55
