Determinants of selective domains of cognitive impairment among diabetes mellitus patients: a primary health care setting-based study in India.

ABSTRACT: Cognitive impairment (CI) is a known complication of type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM), potentially hindering effective self-care. While many studies have addressed global cognitive decline, few have explored domain-specific impairments in Indian community settings.
