Read our Type 2 Diabetes research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This research study is investigating how insulin resistance—a core problem in type 2 diabetes where the body doesn't respond properly to insulin—affects both the brain and the rest of the body. Researchers want to understand the connections between insulin resistance and changes in brain function, mood, and thinking ability in people with type 2 diabetes. By collecting detailed information through blood tests, brain imaging, and psychological assessments, the study aims to uncover new insights that could lead to better treatments.
Type 2 diabetes involves more than just high blood sugar—it affects how the brain works too. Doctors have noticed that people with diabetes sometimes struggle with mood, memory, and thinking, but they don't fully understand why. This study exists to map out these connections so researchers can develop better ways to help people with type 2 diabetes manage their overall health.

If you enroll, you'll visit the research center for a one-time evaluation where researchers will collect information about your medical history, perform a physical exam, and take blood samples to test your blood sugar control and other health markers. You'll also undergo brain imaging scans (MRI) and complete questionnaires about your mood and thinking abilities. The entire visit typically takes several hours, and biological samples will be stored for future research to help scientists understand the mechanisms behind insulin resistance.
