People diagnosed with diabetes in midlife are more likely to experience significant memory and cognitive problems during the next 20 years than those with healthy blood sugar levels, new research suggests. The study is believed to be the longest of its kind following a cross-section of adults as they age.

The problem with this kind of study is that 20 years ago there wasn't the knowledge and treatments available that there are now (or will be in the future?), so whilst it may be true of the participants, can you extrapolate the findings 20 years forwards?
