Summary
Diabetes negatively affects cognition and increases the risk of developing overt dementia.
Decreased cerebral glucose metabolism may be contributing to this effect, thus providing a
glucose substitute using ketone bodies might improve neuronal function.
In this study the investigators propose to provide quantitative results on cognitive
performance during acute hyperketonemia in patients with type 2 diabetes.
