Article Abstract
Aims: Hypoglycemia can be considered the most common complication of Diabetes Mellitus treatment. So far, controversial studies have been carried out to examine the impacts of hypoglycemia on the cognitive function.
Methods: This study was conducted as case-control. The case group was 35 patients with Diabetes Mellitus Types I or II hospitalized in Imam Hussein Hospital, Tehran, Iran, who have experienced hypoglycemic attacks (glucose level below 70 mg/dl). The control group consisted of diabetic patients hospitalized in hospital, but they had no history of hypoglycemia. As the blood glucose level became in normal range and the patients' Mental status became stable, the brain cognitive function was examined using Mini-Mental State test.
Results: The mean age of the subjects in the case and control groups was 56.77, 53.73 years old, respectively. The mean cognitive score in the control and hypoglycemic groups was 29.09 and 25.29, respectively. The mean MMSE cognitive score was significantly diminished in the hypoglycemic group (p < 0.001).
Conclusions: This study indicated that incidence of hypoglycemia in diabetic patients is associated with cognitive disorders. Further, there is a linear association between cognitive disorders and hypoglycemia, age and diabetes mellitus complication.

Managing diabetes in older adults requires balancing long-term glycaemic control with the prevention of hypoglycaemia, to which this population is particularly vulnerable owing to frailty, multimorbidity and cognitive decline. Guidelines recommend individualized glucose targets for older adults, particularly those with multimorbidity or increased hypoglycaemia risk. For individuals with frailty or cognitive impairment, relaxed HbA1c targets are often appropriate to reduce the risk of adverse events.

Exercise associated hyponatremia (EAH) is a medical condition that can occur during physical exertion. Initially, EAH was considered to be restricted to extreme endurance activities, such as ultramarathons and Ironman triathlons. However, it has been more recently recognized in a variety of sports, including team sports and in shorter-duration events.

Severe hypoglycemia (SH) is a critical complication in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D), associated with cognitive impairment, coma, and significant psychosocial burden. Despite advances in glucose monitoring, predicting SH remains challenging, as most models focus on milder hypoglycemic events. To develop a machine learning model for early prediction of SH using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data in children and adolescent T1D patients.

Posterior gliosis is a major substrate underlying drug resistant epilepsy (DRE) in children and young adults in low-middle income countries. Neonatal hypoglycemia and prolonged partial asphyxia either isolated or combined are major risk factors for posterior gliosis. The epilepsy associated with posterior gliosis has a spectrum of severity with early onset drug resistant epileptic encephalopathies with disabling co-morbidities at one end and pharmaco-responsive focal epilepsy in a normal child at the other.
