Lancet Sub-Journal: 32-year follow-up results suggest that the brains of type 1 diabetic patients are nearly 10 years older than normal elderly people!

Diabetes ( DM ) and pre-diabetes are the most important public health challenges in society, affecting 463 million and 374 million adults
worldwide, respectively .
As we all know, due to reasons such as hyperglycemia and changes in immune mechanism, DM patients are at a higher risk of physical function decline and disability, and may even cause premature death, thus placing a huge burden on the health and social care system

.

Diabetes ( diabetes DM ) and pre-diabetes are the most important public health challenges in society, affecting 463 million and 374 million adults

Among them, diet control, drug therapy (such as sulfonylureas), and insulin therapy have always been the " troika " of DM treatment .

International Diabetes Federation ( IDF ) estimates that by 2045 , the global diabetes from 2017 years of 4.
25 rising million to 6.
29 million people, our only there are more than 1 million people with diabetes

Alzheimer's is another public health event that deserves attention

With the improvement of treatment, patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM ) are living longer and longer, but there is limited information about the impact of T1DM on the cognitive abilities of the elderly

.

With improvements in the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM With the improved treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM type 1 diabetes ) patients are living longer, but about ) patients are living longer, ) the patient's life be longer, of T1DM information on the effects on cognitive ability of the elderly is very limited

1051 Ming T1DM patients participated in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial ( the DCCT ) and its follow-up Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications ( EDIC ) study

During the follow-up, changes in participants' HbA1c, blood pressure, and blood sugar

During the follow-up, changes in participants' HbA1c, blood pressure, and blood sugar

During the 32- year follow-up, the researchers found that the memory, psychomotor, and intellectual efficiency of T1DM participants had a substantial decline

During the 32- year follow-up, the researchers found that the memory, psychomotor, and intellectual efficiency of T1DM participants had a substantial decline

Among them, participants exposed to higher HbA1c levels, more severe hypoglycemia episodes, and increased systolic blood pressure were associated with greater decline in psychomotor and intellectual efficiency, which was most obvious in the 32nd year

Participants' cognitive score changes during follow-up

Participants' cognitive score changes during follow-up

It can be seen that controlling blood sugar and stable blood pressure levels can delay the cognitive decline of diabetic patients
