Abstract
Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic condition with implications affecting various body systems, encompassing the peripheral nervous system, kidneys, eyes, and, notably, the central nervous system. While cognitive impairments have been acknowledged in DM, particularly in types 1 and 2, comprehensive research remains sparse. Episodes of both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia have been associated with cognitive deficits. The underlying pathophysiological processes, however, remain a subject of ongoing investigation. Moreover, there exists an apparent gap in consensus concerning diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventive approaches for managing cognitive dysfunctions in DM.
