Device: Investigational Study to Examine the Effects of Neuromodulation on Glucose Metabolism in Type 2 Diabetes

This is a pilot study with a single active treatment arm. The study is designed to assess
the efficacy of a portable, non-invasive neuromodulation system for the treatment of Type 2
Diabetes. In particular, the primary outcome measure is a reduction in A1c.


Inclusion Criteria

A subject is eligible for the study if all of the following criteria are met:

- Provide written informed consent prior to enrollment.

- Is male or female between 18-70 years old.

- Has been diagnosed with type II diabetes for greater than 12 months.

- Is currently either using lifestyle modification or taking one or two of the
following oral antihyperglycemic agents and has been on stable doses for 90 days
prior to screening:

- metformin

- DPP-4 inhibitors (sitagliptin, saxagliptin, alogliptin, linaglyptin)

- Pioglitazone

- GLP-1 agonist (exenatide, liraglutide, exenatide LAR)

- SGLT-2 Inhibitors (dapaglifozin, canagliflozin)

- Has an A l c between 7.5 - 9.0% based upon point of care testing performed at visit
1.

- Currently performs self-monitoring blood glucose checks at least 3 times per week.

- Able to adhere to protocol requirements.

Exclusion Criteria

A subject will be excluded if any of the following criteria are met:

- Has Type 1 Diabetes or Gestational Diabetes.

- Is pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the course of the study.

- Current use OR use in the past 6 months of insulin

- History of cardiovascular disease or cerebrovascular disease.

- Any planned surgery during the course of the study.

- Current continuous renal replacement therapy.

- Current oral or injectable steroid use or use within the previous 3 months.

- Previous or current treatment with deep brain stimulation.

- Any previous known disease, injury, or surgical intervention involving the brain or
central nervous system.

- Moderate or greater hearing loss.

- Presence of a cochlear implant.

- Diagnosed vestibular dysfunction.

- Eye surgery within the previous three months.

- Any history of previous ear surgery.

- Active ear infections or a perforated tympanic membrane.

- Presence of a serious or unstable medical or psychological condition which, in the
