Comprehensive Study of Stomach Function in Adults With Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are conducting a detailed study to assess various stomach functions in people with diabetes mellitus, including those who may also experience functional dyspepsia or gastroparesis. The goal is to understand how the stomachs muscles and movements change in diabetes and how these changes relate to overall health. The study will monitor differences in gastric function over time to better understand the disease. Participants include adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who have been managing their condition for several years. Healthy controls are also included for comparison. The study involves measuring stomach function using several devices and tests at the start and repeating these measurements after one year to observe any changes. Participants will undergo assessments such as pyloric muscle distensibility measurements, gastric emptying tests by scintigraphy and breath test, electrogastrography, and autonomic function testing. Symptom scores related to gastric function will be collected at baseline, six months, and twelve months. The study will monitor the relationships between these measures and overall patient health throughout the 12-month period.
