Glucose excursions may impair attention and fine motor skills in diabetes; leaves open clinical relevance and requires validation in larger studies.
Do altered blood glucose levels (hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia) impair cognitive functioning in diabetic patients?
Both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia impair specific automatic cognitive functions like attention and fine motor skills in diabetic patients, while associative skills like reading comprehension remain unaffected.
Holmes et al. (1983) studied this question.
