#2TL;DR from the article:
The study found that patients prescribed semaglutide had a significantly lower risk for Alzheimer’s disease than those who had taken one of the seven other diabetes drugs. The results were consistent across gender, age and weight.
The biggest difference was seen when comparing patients who took semaglutide to those who took insulin: Semaglutide patients had a 70% lower risk of Alzheimer’s, the study found.

Hasn't there been speculation/study along the lines of Alzheimer's being a form of diabetes?

Yes. For example: "Is Alzheimer's disease a Type 3 Diabetes? A critical appraisal" https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S092544391...

With the constant stream of positive news around GLP-1s, and ever-growing list of things they treat, we may all wind up on some dose with only the dose varying depending on what illness they're targeting.

#8How do you isolate this from the therapeutic benefits of simply losing weight and being skinny?

#9This would be amazing if true, but the lack of randomization makes me nervous. What if, like, patients who are about to get Alzheimer's are less aggressive about asking their doctor for semaglutide (which has been in shortage for a while), and that explains the trial results?

My PCP agrees that the great results I'm getting on Fen-Phen mean I won't need to switch!
