Summary:Objectives To determine whether older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus and cognitive dysfunction have poorer metabolic control of glycosylated hemoglobin, systolic blood pressure, and low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol than those without cognitive dysfunction. Design Prospective cohort study. Setting A minority cohort in New York City previously recruited for a trial of telemedicine. Participants Persons aged 73.0 ± 3.0 (N = 613; 69.5% female; 82.5% Hispanic, 15.5% non‐Hispanic black). Measurements Participants were classified with executive or memory dysfunction based on standardized score cutoffs (
