Gastrointestinal manifestations of diabetes

Abstract

Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders are exceedingly common in diabetics and are reported by as many as 75% of patients.1 Symptoms may be underappreciated by patients and their physicians, as they are considered minor as compared to retinopathy, nephropathy, and other complications of diabetes. Some patients may be asymptomatic but still have underlying GI dysfunction. © 2010 Springer-Verlag US.
