  1. Cognitive impairment: measured by Montreal Cognitive Assessment scale (MoCA), total score equals 30; the score was adjusted for the low level of education by adding 1 point for an individual who has 12 years or fewer of formal education. The cutoff of cognitive impairment is < 26 points, and the cutoff of severe cognitive impairment is < 20 points. Diabetes distress was measured by Arabic version of DDS-17. The cutoff for clinically significant DRD is > 2. Dyslipidemia: high levels of LDL, TG, and low level of HDL
  2. *P < 0.05
