Abstract:
Cognitive decline is well known to be connected to diabetes in presence of repetitive hyper- as well as hypoglycemia. At the Memory Clinic at CSK, Kristianstad, we have observed over 40 patients with cognitive decline and diabetes type I and II. Cognitive dysfunction seems to affect both compliance and the glucose levels. In collaboration with the diabetes unit at the Medicine Clinic, CSK, guidelines have been developed to aid early discovery of cognitive decline and adapted interventions aiming for optimal independence at home and at work. The possibility of these individually adapted interventions aiding in slowing down the rate of complications as well as the secondary risk of dementia is under observation.
