Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is associated with
cognitive decline. A prominently affected cognitive
domain is memory, for which the hippocampus is
essential. Blood glucose levels can affect hippocampal
microstructure and memory performance. IVIM metrics
(diffusion coefficient (D) and perfusion fraction (f))
might be a good candidate as MRI biomarkers for memory
decline in T2DM. This study showed that in the left
hippocampus, a high D was associated with lower memory
performance, and an association of f with increased
blood glucose levels. This suggests that hippocampal
microstructure is injured and a vascular component is
involved which might underlie memory problems.
