First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 23 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a natural process called autophagy (cell cleanup) is reduced in people with type 2 diabetes and if that harms small blood vessels. About 60 adults (some with diabetes, some healthy) will take either trehalose (a sugar that may activate autophagy) or a placebo for 14 days. Researchers will measure blood vessel function and autophagy markers to understand the connection.
