Rosiglitazone and cognitive stability in older individuals with type 2 diabetes and mild cognitive impairment.
Abbatecola AM, Lattanzio F, Molinari AM et al.

This has potentially significant public health consequences given that we know that the prevalence of diabetes is set to precipitously rise in the years ahead. The mechanisms underpinning this association are poorly understood, but one possibility is insulin resistance.
