Blood sugar and stomach emptying study before surgery
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses a simple stomach ultrasound before surgery to see how fast your stomach empties. It compares that to your HbA1c (a measure of average blood sugar) to better understand how diabetes might affect digestion during anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- Your surgery is planned (not an emergency) and you will get general anesthesia.
- You have not had any stomach surgery before.
- You do not have a neuromuscular disease.

This study measures and compares the amount of fluid in the stomach before surgery between people with diabetes and those without. It helps doctors understand if diabetes affects stomach emptying, which can impact anesthesia safety.
This study uses an ultrasound to check if your stomach empties normally before elective surgery. It is designed for people with diabetes to help make surgery safer.
This study uses ultrasound to compare the amount of fluid in the stomach right before a planned cesarean section. It looks at women with diabetes and those without to see if there is a difference, which can help make anesthesia safer.
This trial checks how fast the stomach empties water before a planned C-section. It compares women with and without diabetes to see if there is any difference in stomach contents. This might help improve safety for future patients.
This study looks at whether a common diabetes medication (GLP-1) affects how much food stays in your stomach before surgery. It aims to make anesthesia safer by understanding stomach content.
This study uses an ultrasound to check how fast your stomach empties food. It looks at people with type 2 diabetes who have been taking a GLP-1 medication for at least three months.
