Alzheimer's is effectively Diabetes III ?

As a Type II Diabetic, this is frightening. If I lose any more brain function, I'll have to become a politician !
Just time for a quick skim right now, but this seems to fly in the face of what I have long heard about plaque deposits in the brain being the culprit. The focus on obesity also seems at odds with what I've seen observing Alzheimer's sufferers in the media and in my own interactions; no greater numbers of the obese than observed generally.

I'll read the article more closely later, but my immediate reaction is somewhat skeptical, though very much interested if this is some new, fruitful avenue to explore.
