En 2008 se llegó a la conclusión de que los cerebros con alzhéimer aúnan tanto una diabetes tipo 1, como una diabetes tipo 2. Y se rebautizó a esta desgarradora demencia como la flamante «diabetes tipo 3». En 2017, el glaucoma siguió una senda similar… y se propuso como la nueva diabetes tipo 4. Y quién sabe si en un futuro cercano también el párkinson será formalmente rebautizado como la esperanzadora diabetes tipo 5.
