It was done the prospective study of the examination results of 40 patients with diabetes mellitus. All patients were divided into 2 groups for study of 25-OH-vitamin D effect, cholesterol, triglycerides in blood serum on the nature of diabetes mellitus. The first group included patients with ulcero-necrotic injuries in case of neuro-ischemic forms of diabetic foot syndrome. The second group included patients without such injuries. It was significantly determined that there was more neuro-ischemic injuries in case of 25-OH-vitamin D level less than 30 nmol/l. Injuries are connected with reduction of arterial inflow because of osslusive-stenotic lesions of arteries. 25-OH-vitamin D level less than 30 nmol/l is a marker of neuro-ischemic injuries of foot in case of diabetes mellitus. This indication is more specific than cholesterol and triglycerides levels.

Background: Liraglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue licensed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Preclinical evidence in transgenic models of Alzheimer's disease suggests that liraglutide exerts neuroprotective effects by reducing amyloid oligomers, normalising synaptic plasticity and cerebral glucose uptake, and increasing the proliferation of neuronal progenitor cells.
Method: This is a multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase IIb trial of liraglutide in participants with mild to moderate Alzheimer's dementia, conducted at several centres in the UK.

Background: Epidemiological studies report an elevated risk of neurodegenerative disorders, particularly Parkinson's disease (PD), in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) that is mitigated in those prescribed incretin mimetics or dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP-4Is). Incretin mimetic repurposing appears promising in human PD and Alzheimer's disease (AD) clinical trials. DPP-4Is are yet to be evaluated in PD or AD human studies.

Background: Individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) face an increased risk of dementia. Recent discoveries indicate that SGLT2 inhibitors, a newer class of anti-diabetic medication, exhibit beneficial metabolic effects beyond glucose control, offering a potential avenue for mitigating the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, limited evidence exists regarding whether the use of SGLT2 inhibitors effectively reduces the risk of AD.

Background: The progression of diabetes mellitus (DM) has been associated with changes in brain structure and function, often referred to as "diabetic encephalopathy," which is characterized by cognitive and neurochemical dysfunction, and identifiable structural changes in brain imaging. This study investigated the effect of Moringa leaf-supplemented diets (MLSD) on cognition, acetylcholinesterase (AChE), adenosine deaminase (ADA) and arginase activities, reactive oxygen species (ROS), total-thiol (T-SH), inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, NF-κB, IL-6, and IL-10) levels, caspase-3 expression, and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor-2 (Nrf2) levels in the brain of DM rats treated with 25 mg/kg bwt acarbose (ACA).
Method: The normal control (NC) rats and diabetic rats were grouped as follows: NC rats, untreated DM rats, DM rats plus ACA, DM rats plus ACA and 2% MLSD, and DM rats plus ACA and 4% MLSD.
Background: It is more ideal to manage dementia patients in memory clinics but not all of them are referred to such clinics. Also, the characteristics of these patients are less studied and local published data is limited. In 2004, the Neuro-cognitive Clinic of Alice Ho Miu Ling Nethersole Hospital was established.
