Summary
This completed study looked at 94 older adults to compare how prediabetes and type 2 diabetes affect cognitive status, physical function, and fatigue. Participants were grouped by their HbA1c levels (healthy, prediabetic, or diabetic) and tested with tools like the Montreal Cognitive Assessment.
