About half of adults with type 1 diabetes face significant cognitive impairment, including problems with working memory and executive function that affect day-to-day thinking. But less is known about how the condition affects children during a window of time known to be critical for healthy brain development.

Kathleen Alanna Page, MD, associate professor of medicine at the Keck School of Medicine and one of the project's principal investigators Ultimately, the findings could help refine clinical guidelines for managing type 1 diabetes, including what glucose levels are safest in terms of healthy brain development. The study could also aid in the creation of targeted treatments for the condition, including changes to sleep, diet, and physical activity that can help specific patients.
Continuous glucose monitors provide detailed reports on glucose levels in real time, including information about how glucose fluctuates throughout the day and the amount of time spent in "high-glucose" and "low-glucose" states. The researchers will also use functional magnetic resonance imaging to look noninvasively at the structure, function and development of patients' brains.
