Cognitive Training for Diabetes Self-Management

The overall objective of this study is to determine the effects of a comprehensive cognitive rehabilitation intervention on biological, cognitive, and diabetes self-management outcomes.

Aim 1: Test the efficacy of the MAPSS-DM intervention for improving cognitive function, A1C, and DM-SM. Based on preliminary data, the working hypothesis is that compared with the control group, persons who receive the intervention will have improved memory, executive function, and perceived cognitive function, greater use of cognitive strategies, and improved DM-SM immediately post-intervention and at three and six-months post-intervention. Aim 2: To explore changes in glycemic variability and their association with changes in cognitive function. The working hypothesis here is that MAPSS-DM participants will exhibit less glycemic variability post-intervention as compared with baseline and glycemic variability will mediate improvements in cognitive test performance.
