    A longitudinal study by the Karolinska Institute in Sweden showed that poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mainly increases the risk of cognitive impairment and dementia, rather than diabetes itself


    It has long been known that type 2 diabetes is associated with a high risk of dementia


    Followed for 12 years


    Researchers at the Karolinska Institute tracked more than 2,500 people over 60 for 12 years


    Twelve years later, the cognitive abilities of many participants declined


    Prevention is essential

    The researchers also investigated the risk of impaired cognitive health in participants with type 2 diabetes and heart disease, in this case atrial fibrillation, heart failure, or coronary heart disease


    Abigail Dorf, a doctoral student at the Aging Research Center in the Department of Neurobiology, said: "We did not find that type 2 diabetes itself has a higher risk of developing cognitive impairment or cognitive impairment to complete dementia


    In type 2 diabetes, chronic inflammation of the body is common


    Dove said: "People with higher CRP levels seem to have faster progression of cognitive impairment
