Upper gastrointestinal motility and symptoms in individuals with diabetes, prediabetes and normal glucose tolerance

摘要

Aims/hypothesis 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).
