Association of GA/HbA1c ratio and cognitive impairment in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Journal of Diabetes and its Complications 2016 November
AIMS: The aim of this study was to search for factors influencing cognitive impairment and to clarify the association between the fluctuation of blood glucose levels and cognitive impairment in elderly Japanese subjects with type 2 diabetes.
METHODS: We recruited 88 relatively elderly subjects (≥65years old) with type 2 diabetes who were hospitalized in Kawasaki Medical School from January 2014 to December 2015. We evaluated the fluctuation of blood glucose levels with glycoalbumin (GA)/hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ratio, and estimated cognitive impairment with Hasegawa dementia scale-revised (HDS-R) score and mini mental state examination (MMSE) score.
RESULTS: Multivariate analyses showed that GA/HbA1c ratio and urinary albumin excretion, but not hypoglycemia, were independent determinant factors for cognitive impairment in elderly Japanese subjects with type 2 diabetes.
CONCLUSIONS: The fluctuation of blood glucose levels per se is closely associated with cognitive impairment in elderly subjects with type 2 diabetes even when hypoglycemia is not accompanied. Since it is very easy to calculate GA/HbA1c ratio, we should check this ratio so that we can reduce the fluctuation of blood glucose levels especially in elderly subjects with type 2 diabetes.
