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.
- You are not taking opioid painkillers or anticholinergic medications right now.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how the amount of fluid in the stomach at the start of anesthesia (before surgery) compares between people with diabetes and those without diabetes. It helps doctors understand if diabetes affects stomach contents, which could improve safety during procedures.
This study uses an ultrasound to check the stomach contents of people with type 2 diabetes before elective surgery. It aims to understand if diabetes affects how fast the stomach empties, which could help prevent complications during surgery.
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.
This study looks at how GLP-1 medications affect the time it takes for your stomach to empty before anesthesia. It may help doctors decide if you need to take special precautions before your surgery.
This study uses an ultrasound to look at how full your stomach is after taking GLP-1 medications for diabetes or weight loss. It will help doctors understand if current fasting guidelines are safe before surgery or a colonoscopy.
