Study aim. To identify and correct cognitive decline using gingko biloba EGb 761 in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Materials and methods. The results from studies of 120 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus are presented. Cognitive functions were evaluated using the MMSE, MoCa, and TMT (parts A and B) tests. Results and conclusions. Cognitive impairments were detected in 85% of patients, with reductions in attention, short-term memory, and thinking speed; 83% of patients had moderate cognitive impairments. Standardized gingko biloba extract EGb 761 given at a dose of 240 mg/day for one month was found to improve short-term memory, the concentration of attention, and thinking speed.
