We will use 68Ga-Dotatate PET/CT scans, bone marrow aspirations and peripheral blood analyses to determine the effect of type 2 diabetes on vascular wall inflammation, and hematopoietic stem cell composition, and whether these changes can be reversed using high dose semaglutide treatment, up to 2.0mg subcutaneously per week, for a period of six months.
To study the effect of type 2 diabetes (T2D) on vascular wall inflammation and hematopoietic stem cell composition in vivo, and whether these changes can be reversed with glucagon like peptide 1 receptor (GLP1R)-agonism.
