Abstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a central nervous system degenerative disease that is prone to occur in the pre-senile period and senile period . It is characterized by behavioral impairment and progressive cognitive impairment, with an insidious onset and progressive aggravation. It not only has cognitive decline, but also is accompanied by other neurological and psychiatric symptoms. Memory loss is the core symptom of the disease. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a disease characterized by hyperglycemia. In recent years, with the increasing incidence of the two diseases, more and more studies have reported the correlation between AD and DM. This article reviews the correlation between AD and DM from the aspects of correlation research, pathological mechanism and drug treatment through the review of relevant literature, with a view to providing guidance for clinical practice.
