Abstract: A system is provided herein for stimulating an anatomical element of a patient to achieve glycemic control for the patient. In some examples, the system may include a device configured to generate a current and an electrode device electrically coupled to the device that includes a plurality of electrodes configured for placement on or around the anatomical element. The device may receive instructions to apply the current to the anatomical element via the plurality of electrodes of the electrode device. Additionally, the current may be applied using a first waveform of a plurality of waveforms that the device is capable of generating, where each of the plurality of waveforms comprise a substantially similar charge density. Additionally or alternatively, a system is provided that provides a pharmacological blockade at the anatomical element using a micropump that is configured to deliver a pharmacological agent to the anatomical element to achieve glycemic control.

Abstract: Systems and methods for mechanically blocking a nerve are provided. The system may comprise a blocking device configured to selectively compress the nerve. The system may also comprise a feedback mechanism configured to measure a response correlating to whether the nerve is blocked. When the blocking device compresses the nerve, a response from the feedback mechanism is received that correlates to the nerve being blocked or unblocked after a period of time.
