This review discusses the epidemiological, clinical, and pathophysiological aspects of the relationship between Parkinson’s disease (PD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). DM2 increases the risk of developing PD and correlates with the rate of progression of PD and the severity of motor and cognitive deficits. At the same time, insulin resistance may operate as a key link in the pathogenesis of both diseases: peripherally in DM2 and in brain tissues in PD. In this regard, the use of antidiabetic drugs as neuroprotective agents opens up opportunities for developing a new targeted therapy strategy which modifies the course of PD.
