Brainy-T1D: Exciting New Study to Learn More About Type 1 Diabetes in Young Children
BRAINY-T1D (Brain Research Alliance in Youth with Type 1 Diabetes) is a national study of children with or without Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) to better understand how blood sugar levels may affect the brain.
This study will look at how young children think and behave from the time of diagnosis and follow their development over the next 1 to 2 years. We will compare children with and without T1D.
