Behavior and thinking in children with low blood sugar unawareness and type 1 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at how not feeling symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia unawareness) affects behavior and thinking in children with type 1 diabetes. It aims to understand these challenges better so doctors can find ways to help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 6 and 16 years old.
- Your child has type 1 diabetes and has low blood sugar (below 70 mg/dL) without feeling symptoms (this is called hypoglycemia unawareness).
- Your child has been using insulin for at least 6 months.
- You (parent or caregiver) and your child agree to take part, and we get your permission in writing.

This study is looking for adults with type 1 diabetes to help improve guidelines for preventing and treating low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). The goal is to make recommendations that are more practical and safer for people like you.
This study looks at whether changes in blood sugar (“sugar swings”) affect brain functioning and eating behaviors in adults with type 1 diabetes. You would likely track your blood sugar and complete computer-based tasks or questionnaires to help researchers understand these links.
This early-stage study looks at how the brain uses sugar in people with type 1 diabetes who have had severe or hard-to-notice low blood sugar. It may help researchers understand the brain effects of low blood sugar and guide safer care.
This study tests whether mindfulness training—a technique that helps you notice body sensations and emotions without judgment—can help people with diabetes recognize the warning signs of dangerously low blood sugar. Many long-term diabetics lose this ability, which can be serious.
This study helps doctors find out why some children have persistently low blood sugar (a condition called hypoglycemia). Researchers will look at hormones, metabolism, and genetics to better understand and treat this serious condition.
This study looks at how type 1 diabetes affects thinking skills and emotional health in children, teens, and young adults. Both the young person and one of their parents will answer questions together.
