To examine the association between glycemic control and the executive functioning domain of cognition, and to identify risk factors for inadequate glycemic control that may explain this relation. Cross-sectional study. In-person interviews conducted in participants’ homes. Ninety-five rural older adults with diabetes that included African Americans, American Indians, and whites from three counties in south central North Carolina. Participants underwent uniform evaluations. Glycemic control was assessed using a validated method, and executive function was assessed using a previously established set of measures and scoring procedure. Information pertaining to medication for diabetes treatment, knowledge of diabetes, and diabetes self-care behaviors were obtained. In linear regression models adjusting for gender, age, education, ethnicity, duration of diabetes, and depressive symptoms, executive function was significantly associated with glycemic control. A 1-point higher executive function score was associated with a 0.47 lower A1C value (p < 0.01). The association of glycemic control with executive function became marginally significant (p-value = 0.08) when controlling for several glycemic control risk factors, including use of diabetes medication and diabetes knowledge. These results suggest that poor glycemic control is associated with impairments in performance on composite measures of executive function, and that this relation may be explained by modifiable risk factors for glycemic control such as use of diabetes medication and diabetes knowledge.
