About this trial

This study aims to evaluate the effect of hepatic ultrasound treatment on changes from baseline in whole-body insulin sensitivity during a hyperinsulinemic, euglycemic clamp (HE Clamp).

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Type 2 diabetic (T2D) subjects must be aged 18-80 and must be able to provide written informed consent

All subjects must have had T2D for at least 3 months prior to study enrollment. All subjects must be either on diet and exercise or oral antidiabetic agents alone, not on insulin or any form of insulin or GLP-1 receptor agonists.

A fasting plasma glucose (FPG) level of 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) or higher, or

A 2-hour plasma glucose level of 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) or higher during a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), or

Disqualifiers
