Abstract
Apparatus () for treating a human patient, which includes one or more electrode contact surfaces (), which are configured to be applied to a fundus () of the patient. A control unit () is configured to drive the one or more electrode contact surfaces () to apply an electrical signal to the fundus () 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 () 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.
