Ketone Ester Consumption and Heart Function in Type 2 Diabetes
This study is looking at how a dietary supplement called C8 Ketone Diester affects heart function in people with Type 2 Diabetes. Researchers want to see if consuming this ketone ester changes how your heart works compared to a placebo (a supplement that looks and tastes the same but doesn't contain the active ingredient). You could be eligible if you are between 18 and 80 years old, have Type 2 Diabetes, and a BMI of 25 or higher. The main goal is to measure changes in your heart's function using special MRI scans. The current status of the study is unclear.
- Study design
- This is a randomized controlled study with up to 30 participants. You would be randomly assigned to receive either the C8 Ketone Diester or the placebo, then switch to the other treatment after a break.
- What's involved
- You will consume the C8 Ketone Diester or placebo with a meal, and have images taken before and after. After a two-week break, you will repeat this process with the other treatment.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your heart function will be measured at baseline and again after two weeks for each treatment period.

- Change in Cardiac MRI measures of cardiac functionBaseline, 2 weeks
Participants undergo MRI scans, conducted by trained professionals. MRI imaging analyses will determine cardiac function. The images will be analyzed by trained imaging professionals to determine overall change in cardiac function.
