Zusammenfassung
The aim of this study was to determine the gastric emptying, the autonomic neuropathy (AN) and the glucose and insulin levels in type-2 diabetes (T2-DM). Patients, methods: 19 T2-DM patients were included (duration of DM: 11.5±2 years, age: 56.7±2.3, HbA1c: 8.4±2.66%; mean±SE). The emptying of the stomach was evaluated by means of scintigraphy. AN was assessed by cardiovascular reflex tests. The HbA1c level was measured and the fasting and postprandial serum glucose and insulin levels were determined. Insulin resistance was characterized by the HOMA index. Results: The half-time of gastric emptying (HTE) was hig…
