Background and aim: There have been few studies from South Asia which have shown increased prevalence of cognitive impairment (CI) in diabetes and few of European and Indian studies had shown positive impact of education on Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination-III (ACE-III) Score. The present study was designed to evaluate the impairment in cognition by using Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination-III test and assess impact of education on ACE-III Score.
Materials and methods: We assessed cognitive function in 54 type 2 diabetes participants using Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination-III (ACE-III) test.
Results: The mean age and HbA1c of cases was 64.5 ± 5.3 years and 8.8 ± 2.5%, respectively. The illiterate diabetic participants had more CI with compared to literate diabetic participants but there was no difference among non diabetic group.
Conclusion: Diabetes may cause CI and is related to poor self-care. Considering a high prevalence of CI in diabetes, cognitive assessment should be a part of overall evaluation. ACE-III is a sensitive and convenient tool for this purpose.
