CHICAGO ? Patients with type 1 diabetes and microangiopathy had a greater loss of executive function and brain volume over the course of 4 years compared with healthy controls, a small study showed.
Also, poorer glycemic control and higher systolic blood pressure at the beginning of the study were predictors of alterations in cognition and the brain over time, said Dr. Eelco van Duinkerken of VU University Medical Center, Amsterdam, who presented his abstract at the annual meeting of the American Diabetes Association. He added that the decline was not comparable with mild cognitive impairment.
