About Diabetic Gastroparesis

Diabetic Gastroparesis (DGP) is a type of diabetes-related complication that affects the digestive system. It is a condition in which the stomach is unable to empty food properly due to insulin resistance or other factors, leading to a buildup of sugar in the blood. Symptoms of DGP can vary from person to person, but they often include abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and a slow metabolism. Treatment typically involves dietary changes, such as avoiding high-carbohydrate foods, and medication to manage symptoms. However, DGP is a serious complication that can lead to more serious complications if left untreated. It is important for people with DGP to work closely with a healthcare professional to manage their symptoms and prevent complications.
