TI  - Commentary on: "Effects of Regular Physical Activity on the Cognitive Performance 
      of Type 2 Diabetic Patients: A Systematic Review" by Podolski et al. (Metab Syndr 
      Relat Disord 2017;15:481-493).

AB  - Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) imparts an increased risk for cognitive decline, 
      specifically executive function, which is important to maintain for diabetes 
      self-management. There is evidence to suggest that exercise improves cognition in 
      healthy older adults; however, the literature in adults with T2DM is lacking. 
      This commentary is in complement to Podolski et al.'s systematic review 
      evaluating the effects of physical activity on cognitive function in adults with 
      T2DM. We have included eight additional studies and further highlight their 
      conclusions on the heterogeneity of the literature thus far. Three current issues 
      with the literature are as follows: (1) variability in interventions (e.g., 
      aerobic, resistance, lifestyle, and yoga), (2) variability in cognitive outcome 
      measures, and (3) lack of detailed description of the population studied, for 
      example, baseline glycated hemoglobin (A1C) values. Overall, making it difficult 
      to compare these studies and draw final conclusions. Thus, the efficacy for 
      exercise to improve cognition in adults with T2DM is not yet well understood. 
      Potential ways to mitigate these limitations could be for future studies that (1) 
      use robust methodology whenever possible, that is, randomized controlled trials, 
      (2) to follow current guideline-derived exercise recommendations for adults with 
      T2DM, and (3) utilize cognitive outcome measures that are consistent across 
      studies. The hope is that these consistencies in turn will help to determine the 
      efficacy of exercise on cognitive function in adults with T2DM and therefore, 
      allow national organizations to develop recommendations and guidelines for 
      healthcare practitioners to follow.
