Do Cognitive Skills Help Improve Diabetes Control?
Summary
We want to see if whether knowing how a child’s brain works helps get better blood sugar control in Type 1 Diabetes. We use information about how a child's brain works to determine the best way to work with the child and family to improve blood sugar levels. We also want to see if having this information lowers family stress and helps the family quality of life.
