Description
Summary:Objectives: This study aimed to correlate cognitive functions with fasting blood glucose through cognitive tests in young adults whose fasting blood glucose within the normal range. Materials and Methods: Study accomplished in Ankara University School of Medicine Department of Physiology, Neurophysiology laboratory in February-June 2018. Subjects who are hungry at least for 8 hours before cognitive testsand match the criteria involved in the study. Blood glucose values were measured before and after tests with One Touch blood glucose meter. Subjects’ reaction times and correct answer rates have collected. The outcomes have evaluated with SPSS 11.5 program. Results: The difference between blood glucose levels after and before the cognitive tests were correlated negatively with correct answer ratios in N-Back test (r=-0.238, p
