Abstract
Preview As many as 30% of patients with long-standing diabetes mellitus may have symptoms of gastroparesis, and others are found to have the condition despite being asymptomatic. When should diabetic gastroparesis be suspected, and which are the best tests for detecting it? What factors can exacerbate it? Drs Clark and Nowak address these questions and discuss the therapeutic value of dietary modification, pro- kinetic agents, and surgical intervention.
