Youth with type 2 diabetes demonstrate lower cognitive scores and structural brain differences. Although causality has not yet been established, these findings are important because these individuals are still undergoing neurodevelopmental maturation (Current Diabetes Reports)

Cognitive functioning and structural brain abnormalities in people with Type 2 diabetes mellitus
In people with long‐standing, less strictly controlled Type 2 diabetes, white matter hyperintensities volumes were associated with decreased processing speed. This suggests that cerebral small vessel disease is an underlying disease mechanism of cognitive dysfunction in these individuals (Diabetic Medicine)
Effect of the treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus on the development of cognitive impairment and dementia
From the evidence available, there is no reason to favour any particular type of diabetic treatment in order to prevent cognitive impairment in people with Type 2 diabetes (Cochrane)
Long-term Cognitive Implications of Intrauterine Hyperglycemia in Adolescent Offspring of Women With Type 1 Diabetes (the EPICOM Study)
Adolescent offspring of women with type 1 diabetes had lower cognitive function compared with a control group, also after adjustment for confounders and potential mediators. These differences may reflect direct harmful effects of maternal diabetes on neurodevelopment in the offspring (Diabetes Care)
