Cognitive deficits among people with schizophrenia and prediabetes or diabetes.

Introduction: Both type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and schizophrenia are known to be associated with cognitive deficits.

We evaluated the cognitive functioning of patients with schizophrenia and PD or T2DM and compared them to patients with schizophrenia with normal blood sugar.
