Zusammenfassung
The aim of this study was to determine the gastric emptying, the autonomic and the sensory neuropathy in diabetic patient groups with different durations. Patients, methods: 17 patients (pts) had shorter, 23 pts had longer type-1 DM. The emptying of the stomach was evaluated by a scintigraphic procedure. Autonomic neuropathy (AN) was assessed by cardiovascular reflex tests. Sensory nerve function was studied with a Neurometer. Results: There was a non-significant tendency of prolonged half-time of gastric emptying (HTE) in longer type-1 DM (93.5±10.1 vs. 67.8±6.7min. p>0.05; long- vs. short-standing DM). The AN…
