Cells need energy, they get energy from glucose, glucose requires insulin to enter the cell. Insulin requires a receptor to attach to in order to allow glucose to get into a cell. Dysfunctional insulin receptors prevent glucose from getting into the cell in order to provide it energy. I am guessing that if the cells can’t get the energy they need it contributes to the aforementioned Alzheimer’s disease
