Short-term memory and verbal fluency in Type 2 diabetes

[...]it is possible that deficits in cognitive function might also be found in those who have had diabetes for a long duration. Change in the harmonization of these systems, such as chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, insulin resistance, and endothelial dysfunction, as seen with aging or Type 2 diabetes leads to an accelerated deterioration of cognitive functions. [...]we decided to find the factors related with cognitive decline in diabetic patients and also use simple techniques to assess cognitive function which will be practical for a quick outpatient department (OPD) evaluation. [...]it is not possible to administer this test during the few minutes of follow-up consultations in the clinic.
