Severe hypoglycaemia, mild cognitive impairment, dementia and brain volumes in older adults with type 2 diabetes: the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) cohort study.
In this study, the investigators aimed to evaluate the link between severe hypoglycaemia and domain-specific cognitive decline, smaller brain volumes and dementia in adults with type 2 diabetes. The investigators concluded that their results demonstrated a strong link between severe hypoglycaemia and poor cognitive outcomes, suggesting a need for discussion of appropriate diabetes treatments for high-risk older adults.

Patients with KCNJ11-related diabetes frequently have neuropsychological impairments compared with sibling controls.
This study compared neurodevelopmental outcomes in patients with KCNJ11 mutations and their sibling controls. It found that patients with KCNJ11-related diabetes without global developmental delay had significant differences compared with sibling controls on a range of assessments including IQ, measures of academic achievement and executive function.

Selecting SNPs informative for African, American Indian and European Ancestry: application to the Family Investigation of Nephropathy and Diabetes (FIND).
The researchers studied individual genetic ancestry (IGA) in four samples in the Family Investigation of Nephropathy and Diabetes (FIND). They found that the identified set of ancestry informtive markers (AIMs) may be particularly useful for estimating genetic admixture in populations from the Americas. They concluded that odds ratios for the associations of IGA with disease are consistent with what is known about the incidence and prevalence of diabetic nephropathy in these populations.
