Abstract: Latinx adults with both cognitive dysfunction and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are significantly more likely than Latinx adults with diabetes alone to have complications such as cardiovascular disease. Glucose variability may be a risk for dementia, but the course of glucose variability in the time before a dementia diagnosis for Latinx adults with T2DM has not been examined. We used a 10-year retrospective cohort of medical records of Latinx patients with T2DM who had at least one use of a continuous glucose monitor. The objective was to examine how glucose variability was associated with future dementia diagnoses. A total of 116 charts were included. Mean of daily differences and mean amplitude of glycemic excursions were more strongly associated with dementia diagnoses than other variability indices ( p
