<p>A method of affecting blood glucose levels by way of application of ultrasound energy to the body. Ultrasound energy with specific pulse characteristics are directed to a specific location in the body interior. In one embodiment, a body surface transducer emits a pulse-modulated ultrasound energy directed to the liver region. In another embodiment, focused ultrasound energy is passed substantially through spinal cord and ganglia in the vertebral region of T-10. This ultrasound application may also be performed through the use of battery powered or wireless implantable ultrasound devices positioned near organ targets.</p> |
