We have diagnosed six mixed syndromes of diabetes and Parkinson disease (37%), three patients with diabetes and Alzheimer disease (18%) two cases with diabetes, blood hypertension and Alzheimer disease (12%) and two case with diabetes and cervicogenic headaches (12%). The pathophysiological mechanisms involved are described in each case. A relationship of diabetic patient lifestyle with environmental conditions, low socioeconomic status and family history is postulated.
