“…In a cross‐sectional study measuring GM alterations in adults with IFG and those with normoglycemia, those with IFG were found to have lower GMVs than those with normoglycemia in the right ACC, right posterior cingulate cortex, left insula, left superior temporal gyrus, and left MTG (Hou, Lai, et al., 2016). In addition, serum glucose levels were negatively correlated with total GMV and right ACC GMV (Hou, Lai, et al., 2016). Similarly, a study assessing reductions in subcortical GM structures (thalamus, caudate, putamen, pallidum, hippocampus, amygdala, nucleus accumbens) showed significantly lower volumes for the left hippocampus, left amygdala, and right putamen in prediabetics when compared to those with normoglycemia (Cui et al., 2019).…”
