Cortical Function in Elderly Non—Insulin Dependent Diabetic Patients

Type II Diabetes and Cognitive Function: A population-based study of Native Americans

“…The average duration of diabetes (6.8 years) was less than other studies that found an association between disease duration and cognition (7-13 years) (1,6,7,9), and this duration may be insufficient for producing detectable cognitive decrement. Compared with several previous studies (1-6), the average age of both groups in our study was lower, although the upper age limit was not.…”

Seeing Beyond Retinopathy in Diabetes: Electrophysiological and Psychophysical Abnormalities and Alterations in Vision

“…Some investigators have used P300 generated by an auditory stimulus and studied the association with hypoglycemia, peripheral nerve conduction velocities, or cerebral glucose metabolism (49,56,62,75). Only four studies (63, 76 -78) have used visual P300 waveforms generated by a checkerboard stimulus and have examined the specific effects in diabetic (77,78) and nondiabetic (63,76) subjects during conditions of euglycemia (76 -78) and hypoglycemia (63,76,77).…”

Cognitive function and information processing in Type 2 diabetes

“…In two studies measuring event‐related potentials (ERP) whilst administering an auditory odd‐ball paradigm [5,6], latencies of the P300 wave were reported to be slowed in the group with Type 2 diabetes compared with non‐diabetic controls, but in a third study no such difference was demonstrated [7]. An additional study administering both an auditory and visual odd‐ball paradigm observed only a trend towards impairment in the diabetes cohort [8].…”
