Type 1 diabetes-associated cognitive impairment and diabetic peripheral neuropathy in Chinese adults: results from a prospective cross-sectional study

Abstract

T1DM adults had mild to moderate cognitive impairment, mainly presenting as dysfunctions of attention and concentration, visuospatial/executive, language, and abstraction. In addition to age, fasting C peptide level, and educational level, DPN, as a diabetic complication, was identified to be associated with cognitive impairments.
