We aimed to investigate the effect of glycemic impairment in prediabetes on cognitive impairment and the impact of glycemic control on cognitive function in patients with diabetes. Materials and methods...
T2DM causes early brain aging and declines cognitive functions since the prediabetic stage.
Patients with T2D who attended the diabetes primary care management program had a 28% lower risk of all-cause dementia incidence compared with patients who did not attend the program and received standard care alone.
