TLDR
Cognitive dysfunction is an independent predictor of clinical outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes, but does not modify the effects of BP lowering or glucose control on the risks of major cardiovascular events.
Abstract
Aims/hypothesis The relationship between cognitive function, cardiovascular disease and premature death is not well established in patients with type 2 diabetes. We assessed the effects of cognitive function in 11,140 patients with type 2 diabetes who participated in the Action in Diabetes and Vascular Disease: Preterax and Diamicron Modified Release Controlled Evaluation (ADVANCE) trial. Furthermore, we tested whether level of cognitive function altered the beneficial effects of the BP-lowering and glycaemic-control regimens in the trial.

Vascular Contributions to Cognitive Impairment and Dementia A Statement for Healthcare Professionals From the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association

TL;DR: This scientific statement provides an overview of the evidence on vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia and provides evidence that subcortical forms of VCI with white matter hyperintensities and small deep infarcts are common and risk markers for VCI are the same as traditional risk factors for stroke.

Canadian Diabetes Association Clinical Practice Guidelines Expert Committee

TL;DR: In patients with marked hyperglycemia (A1C 8.5%), antihyperglycemic agents should be initiated concomitantly with lifestyle management, and consideration should be given to initiating combination therapy with 2 agents, 1 of which may be insulin.

Cognitive decline and dementia in diabetes mellitus: mechanisms and clinical implications.

TL;DR: The evolving insights from studies on risk factors, brain imaging and neuropathology are reviewed, which provide important clues on mechanisms of both the subtle cognitive decrements and the more severe stages of cognitive dysfunction.

Dementia and cognitive decline in type 2 diabetes and prediabetic stages: towards targeted interventions

TL;DR: Possible opportunities for intervention to improve cognitive outcomes in people with type 2 diabetes are identified, and how treatment can be tailored to individual risk profiles and comorbidities is suggested.

“Mini-mental state”: A practical method for grading the cognitive state of patients for the clinician

TL;DR: A simplified, scored form of the cognitive mental status examination, the “Mini-Mental State” (MMS) which includes eleven questions, requires only 5-10 min to administer, and is therefore practical to use serially and routinely.

A practical method for grading the cognitive state of patients for the clinician

TL;DR: The Mini-Mental State (MMS) as mentioned in this paper is a simplified version of the standard WAIS with eleven questions and requires only 5-10 min to administer, and is therefore practical to use serially and routinely.

Global Prevalence of Diabetes: Estimates for the year 2000 and projections for 2030

TL;DR: Findings indicate that the "diabetes epidemic" will continue even if levels of obesity remain constant, and given the increasing prevalence of obesity, it is likely that these figures provide an underestimate of future diabetes prevalence.
