We measured the volume of interest – a portion of the inner temporal lobe that includes the hippocampus, amygdala and entorhinal cortex (frontal part of the parahippocampal gyrus) – using the voxel‐based specific regional analysis system for Alzheimer’s disease in each patient. The diabetes‐related parameters included glycated hemoglobin, fasting plasma glucose, C‐peptide (CPR) index (serum CPR / fasting plasma glucose × 100) and duration of diabetes.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>The mean glycated hemoglobin was 9.3 ± 2.2%, the median CPR index was 1.29 (interquartile range 0.85–1.74) and the median duration of diabetes was 10 years (interquartile range 3–20 years). The severity score of volume of interest atrophy was >1.0 in 36 patients. Using multivariate logistic regression analysis, we found that age (odds ratio 1.09, 95% confidence interval 1.02–1.15) and CPR index (odds ratio 0.451, 95% confidence interval 0.216–0.940) were significantly associated with HPGA.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title><jats:p>Lower insulin secretion was significantly associated with HPGA in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
