Abstract
Type 2 diabetes is associated with an increased risk of cognitive dysfuncti on. These effects seem particularly true for memory functions. This article examines holy diabetes and the biological changes that occur with diabetes such as hyperglycemia, changes in insulin concentration, hypertension, and changes in lipid levels might lead to these alterations in cognitive funct ioning, with an emphasis on the mechanisms leading to changes in memory.
