Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus has been associated with impairment of cognitive function. Clinical data on the cognitive status in diabetes mellitus patients from rural areas of India are lacking. We intended to determine the cognitive status in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus from rural area. Study protocol included detailed clinical history, clinical examination and investigations. Two hundred patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus underwent cognitive assessment testing by using a modified mini mental state examination. We found that cognitive dysfunction was associated with diabetes. Cognitive dysfunction was related to the older age, high blood glucose level, duration of diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidaemia, retinopathy and nephropathy. We conclude that type 2 diabetes patients should be evaluated for their cognitive function.
