Summary
This study tests whether stimulating the vagus nerve (a key nerve that controls stomach and other functions) through a small device placed behind the ear can change insulin, C-peptide, and blood sugar levels. Researchers will measure these levels in 30 healthy adults before, during, and after stimulation. The goal is to learn how the vagus nerve affects insulin, which could lead to new treatments for diabetes and stomach problems.
