Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (7)

  • Participants' personal information

    Self-reported information(education in years)

    1 day

  • Glycaemic control measured by blood test.

    HbA1c

    1 day

  • Physical assessments.

    BMI(body mess index) in kg/m\^2

    1 Day

  • Olfactory threshold test

    Olfactory threshold test: The same odor with 2 different concentrations are given to the participant each time to find out which one is more intense. (Olfactory software will analyse and give threshold score depending on participant's choice.)

    1 day

  • Olfactory memory test:

    PART A: Participants are shown 4 pictures for each odor(10 odors in total). They select what they sniffed. 10 minutes break. PART B: Participants sniff 20 different odors , 10 of which are same odors in PART A. They select the picture and figure out whether the odor is old or new.

    1 day

  • Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)

    The MoCA is a cognitive screening test designed to assist Health Professionals in detection of mild cognitive impairment.

    1 Day

  • Functional MRI of the brain tracking testing.

    1day

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Change form baseline Glycaemic control measured by blood test.

    6 months after the bariatric surgery (for diabetic and non-diabetic obese patients)

  • Change from baseline Functional magnetic resonance imagine

    6 months after the bariatric surgery (for diabetic and non-diabetic obese patients)

Study Arms (3)

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

These T1DM patients have late diabetes onset.(latent autoimmune diabetes in adult, LADA)

Behavioral: Cognitive assessmentOther: functional magnetic resonance imagingOther: olfactory function measurement

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

A subgroup of these T2DM patients are obesity patients who will have the bariatric surgery. These obese T2DM subjects will undergo a physical exam, cognitive and olfactory test as well as structural and functional brain MRI at baseline and 6 months after their surgery.

Behavioral: Cognitive assessmentOther: functional magnetic resonance imagingOther: olfactory function measurementProcedure: bariatric surgery

Control

A subgroup of these non-diabetic people are obesity patients who will have the bariatric surgery. These obese subjects will undergo a physical exam, cognitive and olfactory test as well as structural and functional brain fMRI at baseline and 6 months after their surgery.
