Abstract
In this cross-sectional analysis, we explored how fluctuations in glycemic levels impact executive functions and psychosocial outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The goal was to understand the relationship between glycemic control and both neuropsychological and psychosocial health. We stratified participants into well-controlled and poorly controlled groups based on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and variability, including a healthy control group for comparison. The study consisted of neuropsychological tests and psychosocial assessments. Results indicated that the poorly controlled T2DM group experienced significant executive dysfunction and scored lower on the Tower of London, Wisconsin Card Sorting, and Digit Span Tests, reflecting a broader impact on quality of life and resilience. These findings support the importance of maintaining stable glycemic levels for better executive and psychosocial outcomes and highlight the need for regular neuropsychological and psychosocial assessments in diabetes care.
