What is Type 2 Diabetic Gastroparesis?
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition that affects the way your body metabolizes glucose (sugar). Glucose is the body’s main source of energy and comes from the food you eat. Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, helps cells use glucose for energy. In type 2 diabetes, either your body doesn’t produce enough insulin or the cells don’t respond properly to insulin, causing a buildup of sugar in your bloodstream. Type 2 diabetes can also cause gastroparesis, a condition in which your stomach muscles stop working properly and food moves too slowly through your digestive system.
Causes of Type 2 Diabetic Gastroparesis?
Type 2 diabetic gastroparesis is a condition in which the muscles of the stomach are unable to contract properly, resulting in delayed emptying of the stomach. Gastroparesis can cause a variety of symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, bloating, and early satiety (feeling full after eating only a small amount of food).
The precise cause of type 2 diabetic gastroparesis is unknown, but it is thought to be due to a combination of factors. First, type 2 diabetes itself can damage the nerves that control the muscles of the stomach (the vagus nerve), which can lead to gastroparesis. In addition, some medications used to treat type 2 diabetes (such as metformin) can also cause or contribute to gastroparesis. Other conditions that are associated with type 2 diabetes (such as obesity) may also play a role in causing or worsening gastroparesis.
Symptoms of type 2 Diabetic Gastroparesis?
There are a number of symptoms that can be associated with type 2 diabetic gastroparesis, and they can range from mild to severe. The most common symptom is delayed emptying of the stomach, which can cause nausea, vomiting, bloating, abdominal pain, and weight loss.
