Characterizing cognitive phenotypes and clinical correlates in type 2 diabetes using fuzzy clustering and decision tree analysis.

Cognitive impairment is frequently seen in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), ranging from mild impairment to dementia. However, our knowledge of the specific profiles and risk factors for these different levels of impairment is limited. In this study involving 152 patients with T2DM, cognitive function was assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment test.
