Although currently no disease-modifying treatments for cognitive disorders exist, interest surged in potential neuroprotective effects of newer anti-diabetic drugs. This study investigates the impact of newer anti-diabetic drug classes, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4i) and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) - on cognitive decline in T2D patients on metformin therapy.
