Researchers are using specialized brain imaging scans to understand how Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes affect the brain's blood flow and ability to use sugar for energy. The study will compare three groups: people with Alzheimer's disease only, people with both Alzheimer's disease and diabetes, and healthy volunteers. By looking at these detailed images, scientists hope to better understand why having diabetes might make Alzheimer's worse and discover new ways to help patients.
Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes are both becoming more common, and people who have both conditions often get sicker faster. However, doctors don't fully understand exactly how diabetes makes Alzheimer's worse. This study aims to fill that gap by using advanced imaging to see what's actually happening in the brains of people with these conditions.

You will visit the research center for imaging appointments where you'll undergo specialized brain scans (PET and MRI) that take pictures of your brain's blood flow and how it uses sugar. You'll also complete some memory and thinking tests. The study runs from September 2025 through December 2026, with visits spread across that time. All procedures are non-invasive, though you'll need to lie still inside scanning machines for periods of time.
