NCT07546409
This study is recruiting at 2 US sites in 1 state, according to its ClinicalTrials.gov record last updated .
Summary
Brief Summary The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether older adults with prediabetes, but no diagnosed cognitive impairment, show early changes in brain energy use and thinking speed compared to older adults with normal blood sugar levels. The study will also test whether a single dose of an exogenous ketone supplement can improve brain energy use and cognitive processing speed. The main questions it aims to answer are: Do older adults with prediabetes have lower brain glucose uptake and slower cognitive processing speed compared to those with normal glucose levels?
