RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the relationship between mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and time in target range (TIR) and time below target glucose range (TBR) in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods:Ninety-five elderly patients with type 2 diabetes who were admitted to the Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from November 2017 to November 2018 were selected. Patients were assessed for cognitive function using the Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA), and were classified into mild cognitive impairment group (MCI group) and non-mild cognitive impairment group (non-MCI group) according to the scores; all enrolled patients were scanned with a glucose monitoring system to record TIR and TBR within the first 24 hours of admission.Results:The MoCA score of the patients in the MCI group was (21.3±3.7)point, which was significantly lower than that in the non-MCI group (28.2±1.2)point, P<0.01); the TIR of the patients in the MCI group was significantly lower than that in non-MCI group [(50.6±24.5)% vs (65.8±28.7)%, P<0.01], the TBR of patients in the MCI group was significantly higher than that in the non-MCI group [(6.6±3.2)% vs (1.2±1.9)%, P<0.01]. Correlation analysis showed that MoCA score was negatively correlated with TBR ( r=-0.892, P<0.01) and positively correlated with TIR ( r=0.816, P=0.001). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that when adjusted for diabetic duration and HbA 1C, TIR and TBR were independent risk factors for MoCA scores. Conclusion:The cognitive level of elderly patients with type 2 diabetes is closely related to TIR and TBR. At the same time, we must pay attention to TBR while increasing TIR.
