Figure 24.1
 -- Bar graphs showing that increased glycemia and insulin resistance measured ten years before autopsy were related to increased risk of Alzheimers disease neuropathology.


Figure 24.2
 -- Box plots showing that diabetes was associated with a brain metabolism pattern similar to Alzheimers disease, but not with increased amyloid brain accumulation.


Figure 24.3 -- 
Forest plot showing that adults with type 1 diabetes preformed consistently more poorly than controls on measure of overall cognition and other cognitive performance measures.


Figure 24.4 -- 
Bar graphs showing no changes within cognitive domains between baseline and 12 years follow up by intensive vs. conventional diabetes treatment or by number of hypoglycemic events.


Figure 24.5 -- 
Line graphs showing that increased glucose levels were related to a higher risk of dementia both among persons with and without diabetes

Figure 24.6 -- 
Line graph showing that adults with diabetes in a telemedicine intervention had less global cognitive decline during a maximum of 5 years of follow up compared to those with usual care.


Figure 24.7 -- 
Path diagram depicting the significant and direct effect of telemedicine on cognition and A 1 c as a mediator between telemedicine and cognition.
