1. High-voltage electrical pulses to the small intestine can significantly improve type 2 diabetes.
2. The treatment triggers regeneration of healthy cells in the duodenum, leading to improvements in insulin sensitivity, beta-cell function, blood sugar control, and body weight.
3. A pivotal trial is testing the procedure in overweight individuals with type 2 diabetes.
4. The study leader highlighted the potential for applications in non-overweight patients.
5. Non-thermal pulsed electric field energy treatment of the duodenum is the core focus of the research.
