Abstract
|
|
|
|
The application of new measurement techniques in patients with diabetes mellitus has demonstrated a high prevalence of disordered motility in all segments of the gastrointestinal tract. In the past these were invariably considered a consequence of autonomic neuropathy, but acute hyperglycemia can now be seen to be a major reversible influence at every level of the gastrointestinal tract that has been studied. Conversely, gastrointestinal function affects glycemic control; approaches to modify the rate of gastric emptying are being investigated for their utility in the management of diabetes.
