Type 2 & other diabetes

Continuous glucose monitoring‐derived time in range is associated with changes in cognitive function test scores in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Prospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

In patients with T2DM with undiagnosed dementia, CGM-derived TIR might be associated with overall cognitive decline and reduced processing speed.

TIR vs ΔMoCA-J, β, p = 0.001

0.218

TIR vs ΔDSST, β, p = 0.036

0.164
