Prevalence and Determinants of Solid and Liquid Gastric Emptying in Unstable Type I Diabetes: Relationship to postprandial blood glucose concentrations

Abstract

Delayed GE of a solid meal is commonly found in patients with type I diabetes and may be one cause of unstable blood glucose regulation. Women, patients as well as control subjects, seem to have a more prolonged GE than men. Awareness of gastric function in patients with type I diabetes is essential, especially in patients treated with meal-administered, fast-acting insulin.
