Published: July 2024

Introduction: We aimed to investigate the effect of glycemic impairment in prediabetes on cognitive impairment and the impact of glycemic control on cognitive function in patients with diabetes.

Materials And Methods: This age- and sex-matched case-control study included a total of 80 individuals: 20 patients with prediabetes, 20 patients with well-controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (HbA1C < %7.5), 20 patients with poorly controlled T2DM (HbA1C >% 7.5), and 20 healthy controls.

Results: The poorly controlled T2DM patients performed significantly worse than controls and patients with prediabetes in the verbal memory process test (p = 0.041). In Trail Making Test B, the well-controlled and poorly-controlled groups with diabetes performed significantly worse (p = 0.015) than patients with prediabetes and controls, and in the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), all three patient groups performed significantly worse (p = 0.007) than controls.

Conclusion: T2DM causes early brain aging and declines cognitive functions since the prediabetic stage. Poor glycemic control in T2DM patients contributes to cognitive impairments, especially in learning.

Efficacy of antiobesity medications for weight reduction in older adults: a systematic review.

Obesity (Silver Spring)

December 2024

Section of Endocrinology, Department of Internal Medicine, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut, USA.

Objective: The objective of this study was to examine weight reduction and adverse events associated with use of antiobesity medications (AOMs) in older adults ages ≥65 years.

Methods: Seven databases were searched for studies evaluating weight reduction of Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved AOMs. Studies had to include adults ages ≥65 years with obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m or ≥27 kg/m with one weight-related condition), with independent analysis of weight reduction for adults ages ≥65 years.

Aims: In the EMPACT-MI trial, empagliflozin reduced heart failure (HF) hospitalizations but not mortality in acute myocardial infarction (MI). Contemporary reports of clinical event rates with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in acute MI trials are sparse. The treatment effect of empagliflozin in those with and without T2DM in acute MI is unknown.

Background: The association between interpersonal continuity of care (CoC) and progression from the prediabetic state to Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) remains unknown.

Aim: To evaluate the association between interpersonal CoC and the progression to T2D among persons with prediabetes.

Design And Setting: A retrospective cohort study using electronic health record (EHR) data from 6620 patients at Geisinger, a large rural health care system in Danville, PA.

Introduction: Individuals with pre-diabetes are at high risk for developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which makes them prone to serious complications such as stroke, kidney failure, blindness and lower-limb amputation. Pre-diabetes can be reversed, and lifestyle modification is considered the best intervention method for diabetes prevention. However, it is difficult for individuals with pre-diabetes to maintain a long-term modified healthy lifestyle owing to psychological burnout in daily management over time due to poor adherence.
