Cognitive functioning in children with early onset type 1 diabetes and severe hypoglycemia
Abstract
Objective To investigate whether severe hypoglycemia in young children with early-onset type 1 diabetes (T1DM) is associated with subsequent abnormalities in cognitive status.Study design Recruitment was from a large population-based database of children and adolescents with T1DM. Children and adolescents with early-onset T1DM (<6 years) were eligible for the study. Diabetic individuals (n = 41) with a prospectively documented history of seizure or coma were compared with peers with no history of severe hypoglycemic events (n = 43). A comprehensive test battery of learning and memory was used together with intellectual and behavioral measures.Results No significant group differences were revealed on the intellectual, memory, or behavioral measures. Similarly, those participants with a history of early first seizure did not differ from their peers with no seizures. There were no significant group differences on the memory subtests that were examined given their potential sensitivity to compromised hippocampal function.Conclusions There was no clear evidence from this cohort that episodes of seizure or coma, even those occurring in very early childhood, resulted in broad cognitive dysfunction, nor was there evidence of specific memory difficulties at the time of testing in children and adolescents with early-onset T1DM.

Early-onset type 1 diabetes is associated with potential deficits in intellectual abilities, especially in the context of repeated episodes of severe hypoglycemia.
“Earlyonset type 1 diabetes has been shown to be associated with potential deficits in intellectual abilities, especially in the context of repeated episodes of severe hypoglycemia (429).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
