Study of diabetes prevention participants using brain scans
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how people who previously took part in a diabetes prevention program are doing over time, including brain health using MRI scans for some participants. It may help researchers understand who is at higher risk for memory and thinking problems and why.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been one of the people originally enrolled and randomized in the Diabetes Prevention Program
- If you are being considered for brain imaging, you must be age 55 or older
- You must be able to safely have an MRI scan (a detailed brain picture)
- You must be able to lie flat during the scan
- You must not have severe claustrophobia (fear of enclosed spaces) that would block the scan
- You must not have metal objects that are unsafe with MRI (not compatible with 3T MRI)

This study uses special MRI techniques to look at brain chemistry. It is testing people with type 2 diabetes, carotid artery narrowing, or mild memory problems to see how their brain metabolism differs from healthy people.
This study uses MRI brain scans and memory tests to help detect early Alzheimer’s disease. It compares people with Alzheimer’s (diagnosed by a clinician) with people without memory problems to see which scan and test results stand out.
This study uses advanced brain scans (MRI and molecular imaging) to get a clearer picture of dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It aims to learn more about how the brain changes in these conditions, which could help improve diagnosis and treatment.
This study screens older adults with type 2 diabetes for early signs of memory or thinking problems, and offers a program to help keep the brain healthy. It aims to find out if a combination of lifestyle changes, mental exercises, and medical support can slow cognitive decline.
This trial tests a structured lifestyle program (more activity and healthier eating) to help prevent or slow memory and thinking problems. It may be helpful if you’re older but not showing major memory impairment, and you can commit to weekly study activities for about 8 months.
This study looks at people who may be on the way to developing type 2 diabetes or who have it, to see how to help and better understand the condition. Depending on the part of the study you join, it may include brain scans and sleep testing.
