Embodiment Construction

[0207] specific implementation plan

[0208] figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a system 10 for treating obesity and diabetes according to one embodiment of the present invention. System 10 generally includes control unit 20, feeding sensor 22, intragastric balloon 24, tissue stimulator 26, and pancreatic stimulator 28 implantable in pancreas 30 of a subject. In response to the detection of eating by the eating sensor 22, the control unit 20 drives the tissue stimulator 26 to stimulate the vagus nerve or the enteric nervous system (ENS) to reduce appetite, and / or drives the pancreatic stimulator 28 to stimulate pancreatic beta cells to regulate insulin production and / or Blood glucose is regulated in other ways (dotted line 31 symbolically represents the vagus nerve innervating the upper gastrointestinal tract and pancreas). It should be noted that while some embodiments of the present invention are described with respect to tissue stimulators 26 that apply stimulation to neu...
