Summary

This study tests a new procedure that uses gentle electric pulses to regenerate the lining of the small intestine in people with type 2 diabetes who currently need insulin. The goal is to see if this treatment, combined with a diabetes drug called semaglutide, can help them safely stop using insulin and keep their blood sugar under control. The study involves 32 participants and compares the real procedure to a sham (fake) procedure to measure safety and effectiveness.
