Gastric emptying in people with type 2 diabetes taking GLP-1 medicines

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational project at Geneva University Hospitals will use gastric ultrasound to measure how much food remains in the stomach of people with type 2 diabetes who have been on GLP-1 analogs for more than three months. Thirty-eight participants will attend three ultrasound visits over a seven-day period to track gastric content after routine meals and fasting. People on insulin, with prior gastric surgery or known gastrointestinal motility disorders, or who cannot lie flat or follow instructions are excluded to keep measurements reliable. The goal is to define how long GLP-1 drugs influence gastric emptying so clinicians can make safer decisions about when to stop these medicines before anesthesia.
