    Abstract: A system comprises a device that includes a signal generator and at least one processor configured to monitor a value of a medical parameter of the patient that is associated with type 2 diabetes, a condition of metabolic syndrome, pancreatis, or any combination thereof. The at least one processor is configured to determine one or more stimulation parameters for stimulating at least one spinal nerve of the patient with an electrical signal, and control the signal generator to generate the electrical signal based on the one or more stimulation parameters. The electrical signal is introduced to the at least one spinal nerve by one or more electrodes, which causes a response by at least one anatomical element of the patient that changes the value of the medical parameter for the patient.

    Abstract: A system is provided herein for stimulating an anatomical element of a patient. For example, a device may be configured to generate a current, and an electrode device coupled to the device may be configured to apply the current to the anatomical element. In some examples, the current may be configured to prevent hypoglycemic episodes from occurring in the patient when applied to the anatomical element. For example, the current may be configured to downregulate neural activity of a celiac vagal trunk and to upregulate neural activity of a hepatic vagal trunk. Accordingly, the current being applied to anatomical element of the patient may result in a decrease in insulin production of the patient, an increase in glucose production of the patient, an increase in blood sugar levels of the patient, or a combination thereof. Additionally, applying the current may prevent nocturnal hypoglycemic episodes from occurring.
