Abstract: 
Parkinson's disease (PD) and diabetes mellitus (DM) are both chronic, progressive diseases that have significant impacts on global health. Although they manifest differently—Parkinson's as a neurodegenerative disorder and diabetes as a metabolic disorder—emerging research suggests that there might be parallels between the two in terms of their underlying mechanisms, potential for spread within the body, and possibly even their transmission across individuals. This report delves into the similarities and differences between Parkinson's disease and diabetes with a focus on their potential for spread and transmission.
