Popis: Diabetes is an independent risk factor for cognitive impairment, with the latter presenting challenges for diabetes self-management and glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Predicated on the theory of unpleasant symptoms, the purpose of the current narrative review of the literature was to identify etiologic factors that influence cognitive impairment as a precursor to dementia in individuals with diabetes. Physiological, psychological, and situational factors were recognized as important life course components of cognitive impairment in later adulthood. Developing interventions targeting modifiable factors is warranted in preventing cognitive impairment in adults with diabetes.
