Abstract

To determine cognitive and memory dysfunction associated with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and its relationship with depression, metabolic control, and serum lipids.

In addition to clinical and laboratory examinations, self-rating questionnaires that assess minor psychiatric disorder (General Health Questionnaire) and depression (Zung scale) were completed by patients and control subjects. Memory was examined with digit and block-span tests, word-list learning, Heaton Visual Memory Test, and Moss Visual Span Test. Executive functions were examined by Trail-Making A and B test and by Verbal and Category Fluency Tests. Visuoconstructive reasoning was examined with the block design subtest of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale. The NIDDM patients showed preserved memory span, but poor performance in learning tasks compared with control subjects. The patients recalled no fewer words than the control subjects, but the process of of learning seemed to be different in the two groups. The recognition of the learned words was not impaired.
