Relationship between electrogastrography (EGG) alteration and neuropathy in patients with pancreatic diabetes

Timing and criteria of testing for gastric dysmotility and the management of diabetic pts with pancreatic insufficiency is not well established. The aim of the present study is to investigate the pattern of gastric myoelectrical activity (MA) and autonomic neuropathy (AN) in pts with pancreas diabetes mellitus (DM), and to clarify the relationship between AN, alcohol consumption, glucose homeostasis, diabetes duration, and gastric myoelectrical abnormalities. Patients and methods: 30 pts with pancreas DM were enrolled into the study. Mean duration of DM was 11 (0–25)yrs, mean blood glucose levels: 8,13 (±2,7) mm…
