Brain insulin resistance and health in diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how insulin resistance in the brain affects brain health. If you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes and are between 50 and 80 years old, you may be able to join to help researchers understand brain changes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (for at least 10 years) or type 2 diabetes (for at least 5 years).
- You do not have dementia, a history of major stroke, or an active cancer (within the last year).
- You can safely undergo an MRI brain scan (no metal in your body, no severe claustrophobia).
- You are not taking any medications that cannot be paused for 12 hours.
- Your kidney function (eGFR) is above 45 and your blood sugar control (HbA1c) is below 100 mmol/mol.

This study uses advanced brain scans to look at brain chemistry in people with type 2 diabetes, narrowed neck arteries, or early memory problems (MCI or early Alzheimer's). It aims to understand how these conditions affect the brain and may help improve future care.
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 will look at how insulin resistance works in the body by studying healthy adults. You may help researchers find new ways to understand and treat conditions like diabetes.
This study uses MRI scans to look at a specific brain circuit (the Papez loop) in people with type 2 diabetes. It aims to understand how diabetes might affect brain networks related to memory and emotion.
This study looks at how type 2 diabetes affects blood flow in the brain and thinking ability. It compares people with diabetes to those without, and may help understand how to protect brain health.
