What is Diabetic Gastroparesis?

[david21]

Hello
Gastroparesis is a digestive condition that prevents the body from digesting food at a normal rate. Diabetic gastroparesis results when existing diabetic conditions cause damage to the vagus nerve, resulting in the intestinal condition. Although diabetic gastroparesis patients have many treatment options available, they are geared toward managing the condition rather than curing it. A patient with diabetic gastroparesis may have a difficult time both receiving adequate nutrition and controlling diabetic symptoms as a result of the condition.

Hello

Gastroparesis can cause additional health problems for people who have diabetes. When food finally does leave the stomach and enter the small intestine, there is a rise in blood sugar levels. Gastroparesis can make it difficult for the person with diabetes to control his or her blood sugar levels consistently.If you have diabetes and your doctor suspects gastroparesis, he or she will review your symptoms and medical history with you. Your doctor will also perform a physical exam and may order certain blood tests, including blood sugar levels.
