5. Study Description
Brief Summary
Patients with diabetes are susceptible to dementia, but regular therapy fails to reduce the risk of dementia. In previous observational study, the investigators found that liraglutide can improve cognitive function in patients with T2DM through a metabolism-independent pathway. Here the investigators aim to further verify such effects through a randomized, controlled study.

Intervention Name(s)
Liraglutide
Intervention Description
Liraglutide is a glucagon-like peptide type 1 (GLP-1) analogue. We had fond its cognitive improvement effects in an observational study. In order to confirm the effects, the investigators conduct a randomized, controlled study.
