Abstract

Diabetic gastroparesis is a complication characterized by the slowing of gastric emptying without mechanical obstruction that affects the morbidity and quality of life of patients. Between 5 and 12% of patients present symptoms suggestive of gastroparesis that are maintained over time. The pathogenic mechanisms are not yet clear but they involve nerve alterations at the level of enteric cells, interstitial cells of Cajal and the vagus nerve. Management must be multidisciplinary, including nutritional status, symptom control and the implementation of glycemic control and gastric emptying with new therapies such as electrostimulation.
