Diabetic peripheral neuropathy linked to cognitive decline in type 2 diabetes

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is associated with a decline in cognition for people with type 2 diabetes, according to study findings published in the Journal of Diabetes and its Complications.

In findings from the Glycemia Reduction Approaches in Diabetes Study (GRADE), diabetic peripheral neuropathy was associated with worse results in cognitive tests, but no association was found with cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy and cognition.
