About this study

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if exercise training of high or moderate intensity is most optimal to improve brain health and prevent neurodegeneration in type 2 diabetes patients. The main question it aims to answer is: What is the effect of exercise training of high vs. moderate intensity on brain metabolism, brain perfusion, and cognition in type 2 diabetes? Researchers will compare the exercise training groups to a control group without exercise training to determine the effect of exercise training on the brain in type 2 diabetes. Participants will exercise for 6 months, 3 times per week. Before and after these 6 months, they will undergo: * a brain MRI scan * cognitive tests * blood sampling
