Summary

This trial aims to study how high blood sugar levels affect the brain and if managing diabetes well can reverse these effects. Participants will have several visits and tests to measure glucose levels in the brain and see how

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-60 with Type 2 diabetes who have high blood sugar levels (HbA1c > 7.5%) and a BMI of at least 18 kg/m2. Participants must consent to the study's procedures, be available throughout its duration, and agree to intensify their diabetes management.
What is being tested?
The study uses Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Imaging (MRSI) to see if brain glucose transport changes in people with uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes can be reversed by improving blood sugar control over a period of three months.
What are the potential side effects?
While MRSI itself is generally safe and non-invasive, participants may experience discomfort from lying still during the imaging or from wearing the continuous glucose monitor.
