Summary

LO5 study: The investigators are inviting a new group of youth (ages 7-16) who have been recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and their non-diabetic siblings. These youth will complete cognitive tests and a MRI scan of the brain. This scan uses strong magnets to obtain pictures and does not involve any radiation or injections. The investigators will recruit patients within three months of their diagnosis date. The study entails 1 study visit that lasts 3.5 hours. Evening and weekend times are available. The investigators plan to enroll 135 participants. HY5 study: The investigators are inviting a cohort of youth and young adults (ages 9-21) with type 1 diabetes and their non-diabetic siblings for a follow-up to a study they have already completed. This group of people will complete several memory and thinking tests along with several MRI scans of their brain, just as they did at their previous visits. The investigators plan to enroll 150 participants.
