Blood pressure levels in pre-diabetic stages are associated with worse cognitive functioning in patients with type 2 diabetes
Diabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews, 10/12/09

van den Berg E et al. – Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with mild decrements in cognitive functioning, but the relation of these decrements to metabolic and vascular risk factors is unclear. The present study compared the vascular risk factor profile over the preceding 16 years between T2DM patients with good cognitive functioning and those with poor cognitive functioning. Cognitive dysfunction in T2DM is related to the cumulative effects of long–term exposure to hypertension, even in pre–DM stages.
