Brief Summary
You are invited to participate in a study designed to investigate the effects of diabetes mellitus, high and low glucose, and high blood insulin on the brain. You were selected as a possible participant because you fit into one of the following categories. a) you are either healthy and competent, are not pregnant and you have no known medical disease and therefore your glucose metabolism will be typical of a normal person, or b) you have diabetes.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- well controlled type 1 diabetes (hemoglobin A1c \<7.5%)
- age 18-65
- healthy controls
You may not qualify if:
- history of stroke, seizures, neurosurgical procedures, or arrhythmias
- use of drugs that can alter GABA metabolism (such as benzodiazepines).
- Subjects must also meet requirements for a study in the magnet, which includes weight less than 300 lbs and the absence of metallic substances in their body.
