Study of Nasal Insulin to Fight Forgetfulness (SNIFF) - 3-Week Aptar CPS Device
The SNIFF 3-Week Aptar Device study will involve using a device to administer insulin or placebo through each participant's nose or intra-nasally. Insulin is a hormone that is produced in the body. It works by lowering levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood. This study is measuring how much insulin the device delivers. In addition, this study will look at the effects of insulin or placebo administered intra-nasally using an intranasal delivery device on memory, blood, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
