Enhancement of Cerebral Vasoreactivity and Cognition by Intranasal Insulin in Type 2 Diabetes
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Intranasal insulin and Placebo for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Our goal is to determine the acute effects of intranasal insulin on regional perfusion and cognition of older adults. We propose a pilot study to examine the effect of a single dose of intranasal insulin on regional vasoreactivity and cognitive functions in 30 subjects with T2DM and 30 healthy controls \>50 years old using a double blinded, placebo-controlled, cross-over design. Hypothesis 1: Intranasal insulin improves acutely regional perfusion and vasoreactivity in older patients with T2DM as compared with placebo and compared with the control group. Hypothesis 2: Intranasal insulin improves cognitive functioning including attention, memory and executive function in diabetic patients as compared with placebo and compared with control group.
