Diabetic Gastrointestinal Neuropathy: Elusive Diagnosis and Difficult Treatment
Patrizio Tatti, Felice Strollo and Annabel Barber Pp 20-25

Diabetic Gastrointestinal Neuropathy is an elusive diagnosis and often overlooked. The affected patients do not connect the symptoms with diabetes and undergo a painstaking and expensive search for other disorders of the digestive tract. Diabetic Gastrointestinal Neuropathy additionally causes a baffling glucose instability that further aggravates the condition. The treatment is difficult. The less severe cases respond to prokinetic treatment, but when the disease is advanced the only available therapy is the insertion of a pacemaker.
