Abstract: The relationship between Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is quite complex. DM is a prevalent metabolic disorder that affects energy metabolism, associating with conditions such as hypertension and obesity. PD is a neurodegeneration, for which there is no cure, and it causes social and economic impacts. DM presents itself as a risk factor and symptom modifier in PD. The pathophysiology of PD involves dysfunction of dopaminergic neural circuits, leading to motor symptoms. The current drug intervention for PD has Levodopa as the most effective treatment, but antidiabetics have been explored due to the interaction between the diseases. The study analyzed the correlation between DM and PD, focusing on insulin resistance, in articles published between 2013 and 2024, in English, that explore this relationship. Epidemiological studies point out that DM increases the risk of developing PD and accelerates its progression, compromising both motor and cognitive function. The pathophysiological connections explored include amyloid protein aggregation, insulin resistance, mitochondrial dysfunction, chronic inflammation, and intestinal microbiota dysbiosis. In addition, antidiabetic drugs have shown potential to be repurposed in the treatment of PD.
