This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers want to understand whether calcium chloride, when delivered directly to your small intestine, can help your body manage blood sugar better after eating. This trial will measure how calcium affects your blood sugar levels, the hormones that control glucose, and how quickly food moves through your stomach. The goal is to find new ways to help people with type 2 diabetes manage their condition more effectively.
People with type 2 diabetes struggle to control their blood sugar, especially after meals. Scientists believe that calcium in the right place in the digestive system might help slow down how the body processes food and improve blood sugar control, but this hasn't been fully tested yet.

You will come to the lab in the morning after fasting overnight and eating a standard dinner the night before. A thin tube will be gently passed through your nose down into your small intestine to deliver either calcium or a control solution for 75 minutes. During this time, you'll drink a special nutrient drink, and researchers will take blood samples and breath samples at regular intervals to measure your blood sugar, hormones, and how fast your stomach is emptying. The entire visit will take several hours, and your vital signs will be monitored throughout for safety.
