Abstract
The nausea and vomiting that can complicate advanced diabetes is often attributed to impaired gastric motility. Not all patients with diabet ic gastropathy show marked abnormality on gastric emptying studies, ho wever. The mechanism remains uncertain, although cases complicated by a bezoar may respond to its removal. Prokinetic drugs may bring a meas ure of relief, albeit often temporary.
