This study looks at whether adding the medication insulin detemir to a low-calorie diet helps people with type 2 diabetes and obesity lose more weight. It also checks how the drug affects brain areas linked to food pleasure and mood. About 240 adults aged 31-60 will be split into two groups: one on diet only, the other on diet plus insulin detemir, and followed for 26 weeks with scans and blood tests.
