* Does presence of Type 2 Diabetes reduce autophagy and impair microvascular function?
* Does exposure to high glucose impair autophagy and subsequently microvascular function?
Participants will undergo 2 study days. The primary outcome will be in vivo microvascular function testing. Following the first study day participants will undergo either supplementation with trehalose, an autophagy activator, or placebo for 14 days. The second study day will test in vivo microvascular function.
