T2DM patients with high risk of cognitive impairment can be identified early from the bio-psycho-social perspective. Patients with T2DM who are older, less educated, living in rural areas, have hypoglycemia history, and have poor self-management of diabetes are at increased risk of cognitive impairment. Closer monitoring of patients with hypoglycemia, early detection of depression, and improving patients' self-management capacity can prevent cognitive impairment in middle-aged and elderly patients with T2DM.
