Abstract
An observational and cross-sectional study was undertaken. 50 Diabetes Mellitus patients and 50 age and sex matched controls between 40 to 60 years of age in Bharati Hospital and Research Centre, Pune over a period of 2 years. The aim was to study the cognitive impairment in patients of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The objective being to study and assess the association between the type 2 Diabetes Mellitus ,the role of comorbidities associated with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and the duration of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and incidence of cognitive impairment and executive dysfunction. The study has shown that people suffering from Diabetes Mellitus have statistically increased reaction time and also have decreased executive functions as compared to non Diabetic population. MMSE scores in Diabetics was not statistically significant, hence we can concluded that diabetics do not have moderate to severe cognitive impairment. The duration of Diabetes Mellitus, presence of other comorbidities did not affect cognition in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in our study. Patients suffering from Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus should be regularly screened for cognitive impairment for early detection and prevention of progression of cognitive impairment
