Table 2

Unadjusted cognition test results in participants with recently diagnosed type 1 and type 2 diabetes and metabolically healthy individuals as well as in participants with a known type 1 and type 2 diabetes duration of five years.

Data are . Mean ± SD of -score values or mean ± SD of -score values. Mean ± SD of IQ values. According to the STROBE guidelines, no value is given [20]. $Given that few participants failed to finish all cognitive tests, the number of participants who performed completely cognitive testing is given for each test.
