Patent number: 8934975Abstract: Apparatus (18) for treating a human patient, which includes one or more electrode contact surfaces (100), which are configured to be applied to a fundus (22) of the patient. A control unit (90) is configured to drive the one or more electrode contact surfaces (100) to apply an electrical signal to the fundus (22) that chronically improves a blood glucose level of the patient, in order to treat the patient, without calculating an impedance of tissue of the fundus (22) based on a sensed parameter that varies in response to the electrical signal, for detecting eating by the patient or a characteristic of food eaten by the patient. Other embodiments are also described.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2011Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: Metacure LimitedInventors: Irit Yaniv, Walid Haddad, Paul V. Goode, Jr., Harold Lebovitz, Ricardo Aviv, Benny Rousso, Shlomo Ben-Haim
