Yes, could/would fit: Dm degrades both macrovascular (accelerates atherosclerosis) & microvascular blood supply to tissues & ↑ed sugar changes/interferes with the function of most cells & proteins, thus accelerates all kinds of problems, very much including brain/dementia problems. These are complex issues with many additional factors, many still not well understood. Optimal hba1c ≤5.0%, yet not said to be dm til ≥6.5.
