First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early-stage study tests whether taking vitamin B1 (thiamine) daily for three months can improve brain function and repair the blood-brain barrier in adults with type 2 diabetes. Researchers will use brain scans, memory tests, and blood markers to compare results between the vitamin group and a placebo group. The trial involves 52 participants and aims to see if correcting a common vitamin deficiency can ease diabetes-related brain issues.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple vitamin supplement to help protect brain health in people with type 2 diabetes.
