Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate how the duration of fasting and temporary stopping of Glucagon-Like-Peptide 1 (GLP-1) medications affect the amount of food left in the stomach in people using liraglutide (injected), semaglutide (taken by mouth) or semaglutide (injected). The length of participants participation in the study will depend on the type of GLP-1 RA treatment participants are already using.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Current treatment with insulin or secretagogues that might cause hypoglycaemiaduring periods of fasting.

  • History of ketoacidosis.

  • Diagnosed with or suspected to suffer from clinically significant gastroparesis,hiatal hernia or severe gastroesophageal reflux diseases with daily symptoms and/orin supine position.

  • Use of other medications known to affect the motility of the stomach.

  • Inability to lie in the right lateral decubitus position for gastricultrasonography.

  • Unusual meal habits and special diet requirements or unwillingness to eat the mealsprovided in the study.
