Abstract

In recent times, diabetes mellitus (DM) has evolved from being viewed mainly as a medical issue linked to metabolic disturbances to a multifaceted condition that carries potential implications extending well beyond the management of blood sugar levels. However, an area that hasn't been examined extensively is its impact on the neurocognitive functions. Various illness-related risk factors are associated with neurocognitive deficits among children with type 1 diabetes. Considering the essential function that influence diabetes-related outcomes and the overall quality of life, it is crucial to incorporate psychological support as a standard component of diabetes care. The current narrative review aims to carefully analyze the existing body of research concerning the potential influence of diabetes on the fluctuations in neurocognitive functioning during the period from infancy to adolescence, identify the pertinent clinical implications and treatment strategies and interventions, and highlight the areas in the literature, which require further exploration and comprehension.
