Causes of dyspepsia patients with diabetes

Blood glucose control in patients with diabetes have more than a quarter of patients with intestinal food from the stomach to slow emptying, as well as the existence of a number of diabetic patients recurrent symptoms of dyspepsia. However, according to the Danish scientists, the latest research results, the above does not exist between the two situations related to each other.

Utrecht University Medical Center from the M. Samson et al investigated 182 diabetic patients and 54 healthy volunteers. In the test subjects ate two eggs, a piece of bread, drink 200mL of water, and then through the breath test to monitor its rate of stomach emptying.

Study published in the latest issue of "Diabetes Care" magazine, the results showed that in diabetic patients to eat two hours later, an average of 31% of the food remains in the patient's stomach. In the control group, the consumption of the two-hour stay in the stomach after the food an average of 20%.

Women with diabetes than men assigned to the speed of air more slowly in diabetic patients, but not the rate of gastric emptying in patients with age, weight, length of drinking history of fasting blood glucose levels and other factors. The researchers also found that patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus in patients with type 2 diabetes and there was no difference between, have been complications in patients and in patients with complications have not been there is no difference between.

Although patients with delayed gastric emptying will often satiety, upper abdominal pain and lack of subjective symptoms such as hunger, but these symptoms and the rate of gastric emptying were not related to each other. In contrast, Samson and others were found during the pilot a sense of satiety and gastric emptying between the speed of the relatively weak correlation. Researchers attributed the slow emptying of the autonomic nervous system dysfunction, and dyspepsia were more to do with changes in visceral perception and impaired adaptation of the stomach.
