Stomach fluid levels in diabetic vs non-diabetic patients
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study compares how much air enters the stomach during surgery when using three different breathing tubes in children ages 1–10. The goal is to understand which tube design is safest and causes the least stomach bloating during anesthesia.
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 ultrasound to measure stomach contents before a planned C-section. It compares women with gestational diabetes to those without, to see if their stomachs empty differently. This could help make anesthesia safer during delivery.
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.
