Glycaemic profile and cognitive impairment in individuals with diabetes mellitus: A cross-sectional study on HbA1c, random blood glucose, and serum insulin levels
Cross-sectional study reveals high prevalence of cognitive impairment in individuals with diabetes, suggesting no direct association with glycaemic profiles.
Key Points
Cognitive impairment was identified in 67.9% of individuals with diabetes mellitus.
High levels of HbA1c, random blood glucose, and serum insulin were found in 55.1%, 41.9%, and 48.2% respectively.
The study involved 365 individuals diagnosed with diabetes mellitus and assessed cognitive function using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment.
Despite high prevalence of cognitive impairment and uncontrolled glycemia, no significant association was found between glycaemic profile and cognitive function.
