From the Paper:

"Diabetes is a serious health concern for the United States with more than 18.2 million people affected by the disease. The prevalence of Diabetes among children is alarming, as every year more than 13000 are being diagnosed with type-1 diabetes and even more unusual is the increasing incidence of type-2 diabetes[American Diabetes Association]. Studies have indicated that cognitive skills may be severely impaired if diabetes is not properly treated. Left unattended extreme cases of hypoglycemia may even result in severe complications such as seizures or coma. Understanding the effect of diabetes in the learning process is important in our efforts to provide optimal learning ability for the affected children. Let us have a brief study of diabetes in children, its effect on the learning process, and also discuss successful preventive interventions."
