This paper provides an overview of insulin-induced hypoglycemia as a triggering factor of cognitive deficit in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus. For this purpose, databases from 1961 to 2013 were used with the objective of detecting the primary publications that address the impact of hypoglycemia on cognitive performance of diabetic children. The results obtained from experimental animals were excluded. The majority of studies demonstrated that the cognitive deficit in diabetic children involves multiple factors including duration, intensity, severity, and frequency of hypoglycemia episodes. Additionally, age at the onset of type 1 diabetes also influences the cognitive performance, considering that early inception of the disease is a predisposing factor for severe hypoglycemia. Furthermore, the results suggest that there is a strong correlation between brain damage caused by hypoglycemia and cognitive deterioration. Therefore, a more cautious follow-up and education are needed to impede and treat hypoglycemia in children with diabetes mellitus.

“…Children who develop diabetes earlier than 7 years of age are also at a higher risk of cognitive impairment than individuals who develop diabetes in adulthood, indicating that children’s brains are potentially more susceptible to the effects of diabetes such as hyper- or hypoglycemia (15). The negative effects of diabetes on cognitive abilities are often apparent as early as 2 years post-diagnosis (16), and progress slowly thereafter (17), demonstrating a difference from the more rapid decline observed in dementia and Alzheimer’s.…”

Cerebrovascular complications of diabetes: focus on cognitive dysfunction

The incidence of diabetes has more than doubled in the United States in the last 30 years and the global disease rate is projected to double by 2030. Cognitive impairment has been associated with diabetes, worsening quality of life in patients. The structural and functional interaction of neurons with the surrounding vasculature is critical for proper function of the central nervous system including domains involved in learning and memory. Thus, in this review we explore cognitive impairment in patients and experimental models, focusing on links to vascular dysfunction and structural changes. Lastly, we propose a role for the innate immunity--mediated inflammation in neurovascular changes in diabetes.
