Read our Type 1 Diabetes research guide →Researchers want to understand whether rapid changes in blood sugar — what they call 'sugar swings' — can affect how your brain works and how you eat. This study will compare people with Type 1 diabetes who have stable blood sugar to those who experience bigger fluctuations, and look at whether those differences impact memory, concentration, and eating patterns.
Many people with Type 1 diabetes experience unpredictable swings in their blood sugar levels, but doctors don't yet fully understand how these swings might affect thinking, memory, and eating behaviors. This research aims to fill that gap and help improve care.

You'll wear a glucose monitor (Dexcom) for 10 days to track your blood sugar patterns. During that time, you'll keep a food diary for 4 days using an app, and complete three online sessions (each about 45 minutes) with questionnaires and thinking tests. Some participants may be invited to do an additional interview lasting 1.5 to 2.5 hours. All sessions can be done online or in person in Quebec City.
