en Cardiovascular Surgery Cardiovascular Surgery Original Research Original Research Effect of In order to test the memory state in patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) after glycemic control, one-hundred patients referring to Isfahan Endocrine and Metabolism Research Center were simply randomized. They were compared in point of memory state with one hundred cases as the control group. The Wechsler Memory Scale test was utilized to evaluate the memory status of both groups. The average duration of diabetes was 6 years and the lower limit was 2 years. The mean of memory scores was 72.6 in the diabetic group and 96.4 in the control group (p<0.05). The mean value of fasting blood sugar in diabetic patients after glycemic control was 121 mg/dL and was 97mg/ dL in the control group (p<O.05). No significant difference was found between hypertensive and normotensive diabetic patients. Also, Index (BMI) and HbAlc with memory in diabetic patients. However, significant association between serum cholesterol level and memory scale (p<0.05). The mean memory score in the diabetic group was lower than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant. In this study, cemia in NIDDM patients did not prevent or ameliorate memory disturbances.
