“…Similar to studies on glucose intolerance, several studies have linked diabetes to impaired executive functioning. People with diabetes are more likely than people without diabetes to exhibit signs of difficulties controlling attention (Lane et al, 1988; Lustman, Frank, & McGill, 1991; Rovet & Ehrlich, 1988; Zhao & Liu, 1999), regulating emotions (Barglow, Hatcher, Edidin, & Sloan-Rossiter, 1984; Eren, Erdi, & Özcankaya, 2003; Fabrykant & Pacella, 1948; Fris & Nanjundappa, 1986; Lustman, Griffith, Clouse, & Cryer, 1986; Popkin, Callies, Lentz, Colon, & Sutherland, 1988; Wells, Golding, & Burnam, 1989; Wilson 1951), and coping with stress (Barglow, Hatcher, Berndt, & Phelps, 1985). They also perform poorly on measures of intelligence (Rovet, Ehrlich, & Hoppe, 1987; Ryan, Longstreet, & Morrow, 1985; Ryan, Vega, & Drash, 1985; Ryan, Vega, Longstreet, & Drash, 1984) and are more impulsive (Lustman et al, 1991), more likely to abuse alcohol (Goodwin, Hoven, & Spitzer, 2003; Rehm et al, 2003), and more aggressive (Swift, Seidman, & Stein, 1967).…”
