First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study examines whether using advanced automated insulin delivery systems soon after diagnosis can protect brain growth and thinking skills in children aged 5-7 with type 1 diabetes. Researchers will compare brain MRI scans and cognitive tests over 18 months in three groups: children using the automated system, those on standard insulin pumps with sensors, and healthy children without diabetes. The goal is to see if better blood sugar control from the start helps prevent changes in brain structure and function.
