I would argue here that adult diapers are used to mitigate a disease (adult incontinence due to dementia), in contrast to baby diapers.
It is also not necessarily the case that the rules that apply to deducting medical expenses are always the same as the rules to get insurance coverage. And in fact, there have been recent changes to the law so that some expenses that are not deductible without a doctor's note are nevertheless eligible for FSA and HSA reimbursement.
