  Introduction Delayed gastric emptyingin the absence of mechanical obstruction Present in 5% Type 1 DM after 10 years and 1% in Type 2 DM Form of autonomic neuropathy Usually associated with other microvascular complications
• 3.
  Pathogenesis Decreased interstitial cellsof cajal due to decreased nNOS expression by AGE binding Loss of heme oxygenase expression in gastric macrophage which is protective for gastric mucosa Hyperglycemia leads to decreased motility by increasing apoptosis of enteric neurons
• 4.
  Clinical features Early satiety,nausea, abdominal pain, bloating sensation Delayed gastric emptying leads to delayed post prandial rise of glucose leading to mismatch between insulin timing and meals Worsening symptoms with GLP1 agonists Vomiting of undigested food hours after food intake Weight loss and malnutrition in long standing disease

  Diagnosis Gastric emptying scintrigraphy- gold standard - standard low-fat, egg-white sandwich is used as a test meal, with images taken at 0, 1, 2, and 4 hours after food ingestion - At the end of the fourth hour, gastric retention .10% is considered delayed gastric emptying - mild gastric emptying is characterized by 10–15% gastric retention after 4 hours of food ingestion, moderate has 16–35% retention, and severe has .35% retention - Gastroparesis can also be diagnosed when 35% ofa standard low-fat meal remains in the stomach 4 hours after ingestion
