<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Weight loss and increased physical activity interventions are commonly recommended for individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and overweight or obesity. We examined the impact of randomization to an intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI) on trajectories of cognitive function over 10 years in a cohort of participants in a randomized clinical trial who had T2D and overweight/obesity at baseline. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Participants aged 45–76 years were enrolled in 2001–2004 and were randomized to the ILI or a diabetes support and education (DSE) condition. Cognitive function was assessed in 3,938 participants at up to 4 time points 8–18 years after randomization. General linear mixed effects models examined cognitive trajectories over time. Subgroup analyses focused on sex, individuals with baseline body mass index &#x3e;30, those carrying the <i>APOE</i> ε4 allele, and those with a baseline history of cardiovascular disease (CVD). <b><i>Results:</i></b> Overall, there were no differences in the rate of cognitive decline by intervention arm. Subgroup analyses showed that participants who had a baseline history of CVD and were randomized to the ILI arm of the study performed significantly worse on the Stroop Color Word Test than those in the DSE arm. <b><i>Discussion/Conclusions:</i></b> The ILI did not result in preserved cognitive function or slower rates of cognitive decline in this cohort of individuals who had T2D and were overweight or obese at baseline.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are independently associated with heart failure (HF), a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. In the FIDELIO-DKD and FIGARO DKD trials, finerenone (a selective, nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist) improved cardiovascular outcomes in patients with albuminuric CKD and T2D. These prespecified analyses from FIGARO-DKD assessed the impact of finerenone on clinically important HF outcomes. Methods: Patients with T2D and albuminuric CKD (urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio [UACR] ≥30 to <300 mg/g and estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] ≥25 to ≤90 ml/min/1.73 m 2 , or UACR ≥300 to ≤5000 mg/g and eGFR ≥60 ml/min/1.73 m 2 ,), without symptomatic HF with reduced ejection fraction, were randomized to finerenone or placebo. Time-to-first event outcomes included: new-onset HF (first hospitalization for HF [HHF] in patients without a history of HF at baseline); cardiovascular death or first HHF; HF-related death or first HHF; first HHF; cardiovascular death or total (first or recurrent) HHF; HF-related death or total HHF; and total HHF. Outcomes were evaluated in the overall population and in prespecified subgroups categorized by baseline HF history (as reported by the investigators). Results: Overall, 7352 patients were included in these analyses; 571 (7.8%) had a history of HF at baseline. New-onset HF was significantly reduced with finerenone versus placebo (1.9% versus 2.8%; hazard ratio [HR], 0.68 [95% CI 0.50-0.93]; P =0.0162). In the overall population, the incidences of all HF outcomes analyzed were significantly lower with finerenone than placebo, including a 18% lower risk of cardiovascular death or first HHF (HR, 0.82 [95% CI 0.70-0.95]; P =0.011), a 29% lower risk of first HHF (HR, 0.71 [95% CI 0.56-0.90]; P =0.0043) and a 30% lower rate of total HHF (rate ratio, 0.70 [95% CI, 0.52- 0.94]). The effects of finerenone on improving HF outcomes were not modified by a history of HF. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events was balanced between treatment groups. Conclusions: The results from these FIGARO-DKD analyses demonstrate that finerenone reduces new-onset HF and improves other HF outcomes in patients with CKD and T2D, irrespective of a history of HF.

Diabetes mellitus is associated with cognitive decline and impaired performance in cognitive function tests among type 1 and type 2 diabetics. Even though the use of tight glucose control has been limited by a reported higher mortality, few reports have assessed the impact of treatment intensity on cognitive function. We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate if an intensive glucose control in diabetes improves cognitive function, in comparison to standard therapy. We included 7 studies that included type 1 or type 2 diabetics and used standardized tests to evaluate various cognitive function domains. Standardized mean differences (SMDs) were calculated for each domain. We found that type 1 diabetics get no cognitive benefit from a tight glucose control, whereas type 2 diabetics get some benefit on processing speed and executive domains but had worse performances in the memory and attention domains, along with a higher incidence of mortality when using intensive glucose control regimes.

Abstract Background High fat diet may lead to systematic inflammation in patients with type 2 diabetes, which eventually result in neuronal damage and cognitive decline. However, there is a paucity of study examined whether inflammation mediated the association between diet fatty acids and cognitive function in type 2 patients with diabetes. Methods We evaluated the cognitive function of 372 Chinese patients with diabetes, using the mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and the montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA). Plasma fatty acids were measured by gas chromatography analysis. Inflammatory cytokines were determined by immune turbidimetric analysis and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Data was analyzed using multiple linear regression based on R program and mediation model was established by Mplus. Results In our study, we found the increasing of BMI may lead to cognitive impairment and induce inflammatory response. We also found higher SFAs levels in plasma were linked to cognitive decline, while higher MUFAs intake might be a protective factor for cognitive function. In addition, most PUFAs levels stood out as having increasing trends that were positively correlated to cognitive function scores, but n-6 PUFAs gave opposite results. In our study, we found higher SFAs led to higher proinflammatory factor levels. Apart from that, MUFAs, SCD-16 and SCD-18 were positively related to hs-CRP. Interestingly, we found PUFAs were negatively related to IL-10. Meanwhile, this result also indicated that C18:0 might reduce MoCA language skills scores by regulating plasma IL-10 levels. Conclusions Plasma fatty acids could improve or damage cognitive function by regulating IL-10, which suggested that plasma fatty acids can be evaluated as a potential indicator of cognitive function decline in 2 type diabetes.
