MON-636 The Relationship Between Glucose Control & Cognitive Function in People with Diabetes After a Lacunar Stroke

ABSTRACT: Abstract Background & Objective Both lacunar strokes and diabetes are risk factors for dementia and cognitive dysfunction. Thus, elucidating modifiable risk factors for cognitive dysfunction in people with type 2 diabetes who experienced a lacunar infarct has large public health implications. One such factor may be glycemic status, as measured by glycosylated hemoglobin (A1C). Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the relationship between A1C and cognitive function in people with diabetes after a lacunar stroke. Research Design & Methods The effect of baseline and follow-up A1C on the baseline and the change in Cognitive Assessment Screening Instrument (CASI) score over time among participants with a median of 2 cognitive assessments (range 1-5) was examined in of 942 individuals with
