Doctor Tyna says that dementia is type three diabetes. Makes total sense!

This is amazing news! My grandmother and father both had types of Alzheimer's, and guess what? They both had diabetes as well. I'm becoming more excited about the possibilities of GLP-1 medications and their potential treatments. Currently, I'm working with my doctor to get on Zepbound (microdose) to help with weight gain, pre-diabetes from peri-menopause, and inflammation issues I've experienced over the years. My goal is to manage my pre-diabetes and avoid Alzheimer's as I age, so I can lead a vital life in my later years.

Both my parents suffered Alzheimer’s. This would be amazing. Wish it applied to Mounjaro as well.

Does tirzepatide have the same benefit or only semaglutide?

Thanks so much for keeping us informed Dave. I have a family member with senile dementia who skates at pre-diabetic level. Dementia is one of my greatest fears for my own health.

My husband has been diagnosed with Alzheimers. I hope this is going to happen for everyone’s sake.

My grandmother had Alzheimer’s and my mother had Lewy body dementia. It was awful. So this is potentially wonderful news!

This is the biggest reason I started Zepbound self pay 2.5 mg. Even though the science is still in progress, I'm getting started now at age 47. My mother has Alzheimer's and it is so devastating. I'm doing HRT and a GLP1 in order to at least try things that she didn't get the chance to try.
