Neurocognitive Impact of Hypoglycemia in Type 1 Diabetes (HYPO)

June 15, 2018 updated by: Washington University School of Medicine

125 children with Type 1 Diabetes mellitis (T1DM) between 4 and 16 were recruited and 62 healthy siblings also enrolled in the study.

Children with T1DM and sibling controls ages 4 to 16 were assessed on memory and executive control skills at entry to the study (Test 1) and after two years of close monitoring for blood sugar events (Test 2). Diabetic children have their blood sugar tested directly before and after cognitive testing to ensure their blood sugar is within range during the testing. The 2-year follow-up period involves parents/child reporting any severe diabetic episode and periodically providing the results of the diabetic child's usual blood tests from their glucose monitoring device.

Children 7 and older also underwent high resolution MRI scans.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Study Population

125 children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) between 4 and 16 were recruited from the Diabetes Clinic at St. Louis Children's Hospital. 62 healthy siblings between 4 and 16 also enrolled in the study.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age 4 - 16 (for MRI, must be 7 or older)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant or lactating (females 13+)
  • Chronic disease other than T1DM, well-controlled asthma, or Hashimoto's thyroiditis. (Exclude for hypothyroidism)
  • Other current serious medical illness
  • Co-morbid psychiatric illness: such as mania, ADHD, LD, major depression, mental retardation, or psychoactive drug dependence
  • Co-morbid neurological illness: stroke, seizure, major loss of consciousness, other brain trauma/surgery, or head injuries (i.e. near drowning), encephalitis, or hydrocephalus, blindness, deafness
  • EXCEPT T1DM-related
  • Pre-maturity at birth >4 wks early (<36 wk term) w/ sequelae e.g. on respirator at NICU
  • Use of psychoactive medications or exposure to neuroleptics (except that exposures of less than 1 month, occurring more than 5 years ago, will be allowed) or pts. w/recent tx w/dopamine depleting agents or stimulants such as Ritalin, Cylert, Adderall
  • Contraindication to MRI scan (e.g. claustrophobia, metal implants, foreign bodies) - N/A if < 4 years old
  • Full set (top and bottom) orthodontic braces. (Half set braces, fillings, and retainers are OK)

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
January 1, 2003

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
