Core Tip	Even though type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major independent risk factor for ischemic stroke, it is unclear whether stroke severity and functional outcome differs between diabetic and non-diabetic patients. In the present study, T2DM was associated with worse functional outcome at discharge despite similar stroke severity at admission. The detrimental effect of T2DM on functional outcome was independent of the increased prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in diabetic patients.
