Primary outcomePrimary: Brain Glycogen Turnover Rate — 0.31; 0.28 mg/kg/min
Summary
The long-range goal of this project is to determine the effects of diabetes and the hypoglycemic consequences of intensive therapy on in vivo brain glucose metabolism in humans. We will measure brain glycogen turnover and content in normal controls and subjects with diabetes under conditions of modest hyper-and hypoglycemia.
