Fact Check Team: Research finds strong link between type 1 diabetes and dementia
Published on March 27, 2026.
New research has found a strong link between type 1 diabetes and dementia, which puts people with type 1 at nearly three times the risk of developing dementia compared to those without it. The study was led by researchers from the Boston University School of Public Health and published in Neurology. Potential links may include blood vessel damage, chronic inflammation, and insulin-related changes in the brain. While treatments are improving, a cure remains out of reach.
