Type 2 diabetes mellitus has been an established risk factor for cognitive decline, which is recently recognized as a new type of diabetes-related complication. Although wide-range of cognitive domains are impaired in type 2 diabetes mellitus subjects, executive function and processing speed are the most frequently reported to be impaired in older type 2 diabetes mellitus subjects. The mechanisms by which type 2 diabetes mellitus affects cognitive function, however, largely remain to be elucidated. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
