Yes that makes sense diabetics, due to a variety of factors including their reliance on insulin injections are subject to increased permeability of the blood brain barrier. A fact which leaves them statistically more vulnerable than the population at large to all manner of environmental assaults on the structure of the nervous system.
Heres a fun paper detailing some sciency stuff regarding the matter :
Glial and Vascular Cell Regulation of the Blood-Brain Barrier in Diabetes

Maybe I missed it, did they define young?
