Fig. 3: Significant WM abnormalities between T2DM-CD and HCs.

Patients with T2DM-CD showed the significant and consistent decreased FA (Blue) in right inferior network, inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus (IFOF.R) (a), right inferior network, inferior longitudinal fasciculus (ILF.R) (b), and undefined area of cerebellum (32, −60, −42) (c) (P < 0.005). No increased FA was found in T2DM-CD compared to HCs (P = 0.005).
