This is a large observational study of 10,000 people with type 2 diabetes in China that aims to identify early signs of cognitive decline — problems with memory, thinking, and concentration — before they become serious. Researchers will use memory tests, brain imaging (MRI), and blood and stool samples to understand how diabetes affects the brain and to develop better ways to catch these problems early.
People with type 2 diabetes are at higher risk for thinking and memory problems as they age, but these changes are often not caught until they become severe. This study seeks to find better ways to detect these problems early, when intervention might help slow or prevent further decline.

You would visit the hospital for screening tests, which include memory and thinking assessments, blood and urine tests, a brain MRI scan, and smell tests. Researchers will also collect samples of blood, stool, and other body fluids to study how diabetes relates to brain health. The exact timeline and number of follow-up visits are not fully specified, but you should expect to complete comprehensive neuropsychological testing during your participation.
