Seeking innovative methods to manage type 2 diabetes
The pulsENDOTM system is a new investigational procedure designed to help people living with type 2 diabetes (T2D) bring control to their blood sugar levels.
Research has shown that cells in a portion of the small intestine, called the duodenum, play an important role in managing blood sugar levels.9 In individuals with type 2 diabetes, malfunctioning cells in the duodenum can lead to poor blood sugar control.
Treatment for type 2 diabetes
Current treatments for T2D focus primarily on lifestyle adjustments (diet and exercise) and medications, including insulin. An adult diagnosed with diabetes in the US uses an average of 5.9 different medications.4 Managing these medications and their side effects can be challenging; the costs of these medications can be significant.
The pulsENDO procedure is an investigational treatment designed to promote the regeneration of healthy signaling cells in the duodenum, which, in turn, may help the body manage blood sugar levels and slow progression of the disease.
During the pulsENDO procedure, a physician will use a small camera to help guide a special catheter through the mouth and into the first part of the small intestine. Once the catheter is in place, it delivers precise, controlled electrical pulses into the wall of the duodenum. These electrical pulses are intended to disrupt the poorly functioning signaling cells and start your body’s process of replacing them with new cells to help manage your blood sugar levels better.
You are asleep during the pulsENDO procedure, nothing is left inside you, and you are able to go home the same day of the procedure. Most patients are able to start their normal activities the day after the procedure.
The pulsENDO system is currently under evaluation in the ReCET Clinical Study.
