Heart, brain, and fitness in type 2 diabetes vs healthy aging
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This study compares how well the heart and brain work during exercise in people with type 2 diabetes and healthy older adults. It aims to understand how diabetes affects fitness, blood flow, and thinking skills.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- For people with type 2 diabetes: you must have had diabetes for more than 5 years, or have moderate microalbuminuria (small amounts of protein in urine), or have non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (early eye changes from diabetes).
- For healthy volunteers: you must be over 60 years old and not have type 2 diabetes.
- You must speak and understand Danish.
- You must be able to give written consent to participate.
- You cannot exercise vigorously more than once a week (for diabetes group) or twice a week (for healthy group).
- You cannot have had a heart attack, certain heart problems, stroke, depression, or thyroid issues.

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 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 tests whether doing special cognitive exercises at home can help older adults manage type 2 diabetes better. It is designed for people who are comfortable using a smartphone, tablet, or computer.
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.
