Summary

Researchers in India are studying how type 1 diabetes affects thinking, memory, and mental health in children and young adults aged 10 to 21. They will compare 264 youth with type 1 diabetes to 132 healthy peers using tests of intelligence, attention, memory, and emotional well-being. This observational study aims to fill a gap in understanding diabetes' impact on the developing brain in India, where the condition is becoming more common.
