Article Excerpts about Gastroparesis
Gastroparesis and Diabetes: NIDDK (Excerpt)
Gastroparesis is a disorder in which the stomach
takes too long to empty its contents. Gastroparesis is most often a
complication of type 1 diabetes. At least 20 percent of people with type 1
diabetes develop gastroparesis. It also occurs in people with type 2
diabetes, although less often.
Gastroparesis happens when nerves to the stomach are damaged or stop
working. The vagus nerve controls the movement of food through the
digestive tract. If the vagus nerve is damaged, the muscles of the stomach
and intestines do not work normally, and the movement of food is slowed or
stopped.
