I'm not sure why you're being downvoted, other than perhaps the terseness of your response. There is research that hypothesizes that Alzheimer's is like diabetes in that it manifests itself as a dysfunction of insulin/glucose regulation.

Yes, the symptom described in the article is congruent with the diabetic theory because loss of small blood vessels is also a symptom of diabetes.
