Ok, forget everything I wrote above. This is the only thing I need to know:

Experimental protocol. On the evening prior to MRS scanning, individuals with T2DM were admitted to the Yale University Hospital Research Unit and placed on a standard hospital protocol insulin drip overnight to normalize plasma glucose levels. T2DM participants received an average of 8.4 ± 2 units of insulin overnight, and mean plasma glucose levels were 126 ± 6 mg/dl overnight. The insulin infusion was maintained until the start of the scanning. At the start of scanning, the insulin infusion rate was fixed at 1 unit/hour for the duration of the study in order to minimize risk of ketosis. Neither lean nor obese participants received any exogenous insulin.
