Diabetes. Can tight glycemic control in diabetes benefit cognition?

Nat Rev Neurol. 2012 Jan 31;8(3):124-6. doi: 10.1038/nrneurol.2012.10.

Abstract

Intensive glucose management, if begun early, diminishes the long-term complications of diabetes. Whether the cognitive domain also benefits from such therapy is not clear, and has remained subject to investigation. Do the new results from the ACCORD-MIND study settle the issue?
