Hi,
I think it's always best to be safe and see a doctor in such situations.
It does not necessarily mean Alzheimer's disease but there may be other issues causing this especially in diabetic patients.
So I would say you should see a neurologist for this issue.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
