Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study included of 482 elderly diabetic patients with frailty. The subjects were interviewed by questionnaire and were assessed cognitive by Mini-Cog. Results: The average age of subjects was 72,8 ± 6.4 years, the ratio of female/male was 1.38. The average duration of diabetes was 9.8 ± 5.3 years. The rate of cognitive impairment was 64.9%. There was a relationship between cognitive impairment and age, blood glucose and HbA1C levels. There was no correlation between cognitive impairment and gender. Conclusion: Age, blood glucose and HbA1C levels were associated cognitive impairment. Assessment of cognitive and frailty are important and should be conducted routinely in elderly diabetic patients.
