Abstract

Type 2 diabetes has been associated with upper gastrointestinal motility dysfunction, but the relationship with diabetes duration and glucose control is less well understood. Gastric emptying, oesophageal motility and gastrointestinal symptoms were examined in volunteers with diabetes, prediabetes (impaired fasting glucose [IFG] or impaired glucose tolerance [IGT]) and normal glucose tolerance (NGT). The study included 41 patients with type 2 diabetes, 17 individuals with IFG/IGT and 31 individuals with NGT. A gastric emptying breath test and high-resolution oesophageal manometry were performed. Gastrointestinal symptoms were assessed using questionnaires. Gastric emptying was delayed in individuals with IFG/IGT (p < 0.05) but was normal in the diabetic group. Amongst the diabetic patients, gastric emptying rate was fastest in those with longer diabetes duration and the highest HbA1c levels (p < 0.001). Oesophageal motility variables were similar between the groups. However, the lower oesophagus resting pressure was reduced in patients with longer diabetes duration (p = 0.01). Abdominal pain/discomfort was more frequent amongst patients with diabetes (p = 0.04) but was unrelated to gastric emptying. Significant associations bet...Continue Reading

Biomarkers for Type 2 Diabetes

Biomarkers can help understand chronic diseases and assist in risk prediction for prevention and early detection of diseases. Here is the latest research on biomarkers in type 2 diabetes, a disease in which the body is unable to produce or properly use insulin.
