Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The central hypothesis tested in this investigation is whether circumventing impaired glucose metabolism is feasible, safe and potentially promising by supplying anaplerotic precursors through metabolism of odd-carbon fatty acids that can enter the citric acid cycle (CAC) through alternative metabolic pathways.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Ages 1 month to \<21 years of age
* Diagnosed with glucose transporter type I deficiency.
* Age matched (within 1 year) controls not diagnosed with G1D.
Exclusion Criteria
* Subjects unable to tolerate the MRI and MRS procedures due to anxiety
* Subjects receiving oxygen supplementation or those confined to a bed or stretcher
* Subjects currently receiving a ketogenic diet, due to a high risk of seizure recurrence while transitioning off ketosis.
* Patients behaviorally unable to hold still for imaging procedures (rather than limited by seizure activity) will be excluded.
