Heart, brain, and thinking in type 2 diabetes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This study compares how the heart and brain work and how well people think between those with type 2 diabetes and healthy older adults. It aims to understand the effects of diabetes on these functions.

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 study tests how consistent a special PET scan (called [15O]H2O-PET) is at measuring blood flow in the brain. It is for healthy older adults and involves cognitive testing and possibly light exercise.
This study tests if a special computer-based brain training program can help improve thinking and memory in older adults with diabetes who are at risk for dementia. It might help keep your mind sharp as you age.
This study follows adults with type 2 diabetes to see who may develop heart problems and who may have memory or thinking changes over time. It may help doctors better predict risk and plan earlier support.
This study is looking at ways to catch early thinking and memory changes in people with type 2 diabetes. By joining, you may help doctors learn how to spot problems sooner and find better ways to help.
This study looks at whether the way the brain uses sugar (glucose) in people with type 2 diabetes can improve, and whether changes track with tighter diabetes treatment. You may get brain scans (MRI/MRS) and diabetes monitoring to see if there’s “reversibility” in the brain’s sugar transport.
