DALLAS: Better glycemic control may help significantly lower the risk for dementia among individuals with type 2 diabetes, according to a new study.
Researchers looked at a cohort of more than 350,000 patients (mean age, 67 years) and found that the risk for dementia was 50% higher among patients with diabetes who had an HbA1c of 10% or greater, as compared with those who had an HbA1c around guideline target levels.
