Type 2 diabetes can dramatically affect the everyday thinking skills of up to one-in-three adults aged more than 60, a new study has found.

Nicole Milne, a PhD student from The University of Western Australia's School of Psychology revealed the results of her study at the World Diabetes Congress, held last week in Melbourne.

Ms Milne said baseline results from the study, funded by the Diabetes Research Foundation of WA, showed diabetics aged over 60 experienced compromised performance across a range of thinking skills.
