My father had diabetic neuropathy before it had a name and the pain was so great he was prescribed opioids. He was T2D. We'll never know if the dementia which killed him just "happened" or was caused by the drugs.

Getting the elderly to embrace change in diet is almost impossible.

Thanks for the article. The author may have been focusing on how the modern diet could be contributing to alzheimer's, but I'm glad he mentioned that there are other factors involved, because that reminded me that there are a lot of drugs (both over the counter and Rx) that seem to be strongly linked to dementia and alzheimers, especially when taken by older patients, and includes antihistamines of all kinds: Mom took antihistamines pretty much 24/7/365 for decades, since the 1960's until just a couple of years ago.
