NCT00626080

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that subcutaneous administration of insulin detemir, as compared to insulin NPH, leads to a more pronounced effect on cerebral glucose metabolism and/or cerebral blood flow in brain regions associated with appetite regulation, to account for the reported difference in weight.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Cerebral metabolic rate of glucose, in brain regions associated with appetite control, as determined by FDG-PET

    After 12 weeks of treatment

  • Cerebral blood flow, in brain regions associated with appetite control, as determined by H2O-PET

    After 12 weeks of treatment

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • CSF insulin concentration

    After 12 weeks of treatment

  • Activity in brain regions associated with appetite control, as determined by fMRI

    After 12 weeks of treatment

  • Weight change

    After 12 weeks of treatment

Interventions

100 IU/ml, QD, dose individually adjusted, to be used for a period of 12 weeks; in combination with insulin aspart TID

Also known as: Insulin Levemir

100 IU/ml, QD, dose individually adjusted, to be used for a period of 12 weeks; in combination with insulin aspart TID

Also known as: Insulin Insulatard
