Blood sulfate and brain health in type 2 diabetes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how a natural substance in your blood (sulfate) might affect brain function in people with long-term type 2 diabetes who have some memory or thinking problems. It aims to find a better way to diagnose and understand this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 45 and 75 years old.
- You must have had type 2 diabetes for at least 6 years.
- You must have a brain MRI that shows some age-related shrinkage or changes.
- You must have a score below 26 on a memory/thinking test (MoCA).
- You cannot have other causes for memory problems, like Alzheimer's disease or severe head injury.

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.
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 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 tests whether an “early warning” approach can detect early changes in the brain related to diabetes before serious problems happen. If you qualify, you may be asked to take part in brain and health assessments to see how well the system works.
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 tests if a treatment can improve the blood-brain barrier in adults with type 2 diabetes. It uses MRI scans to see changes and may help protect brain function.
