Symptom of Diabetes: Gastroparesis

Stomach trouble is one of the symptoms of persistent high blood sugar

or diabetes. I have written in my previous article that one of the

symptoms of persistent and uncontrolled high blood sugar is nerve

damage, a condition known as neuropathy. Therefore, diabetes or high

blood sugar can also damages the nerve that helps stomach to empty

and transport food smoothly through the digestive tract.



This inability of the stomach to empty food quickly enough as a result

of persistent high blood sugar can lead to many diabetes

complications. This inability of the stomach to process and empty food

swiftly is a condition known as gastroparesis.



3 SYMPTOMS OF GASTROPARESIS



1. This could cause unpleasant abdominal

problems like diarrhea,

constipation, or incontinence.



2. It may also lead to difficulty in eating or swallowing.



3. Gastroparesis can make it uneasy to control your high blood sugar

or diabetes.



BOTTOM LINE



One of the consequences of uncontrolled diabetes is poor digestive

system as a result of nerve damage. Try to control your blood sugar as

much as you can to prevent, control, manage and reverse gastroparesis.
