Diabetic Gastroparesis adversely affects 20-40% of longstanding type 1 diabetics and may worsen blood glucose control, but our diabetic patients may not have any other symptoms! Discover the effects of high and low sugar on the normal and neuropathic gut, and learn what you can do help manage this difficult disorder.

- 23. Scintillating Syntigraphy Every hospital has own technique and normal values Cannot compare between hospitals Some do liquid phase emptying also
- 25. Watch out! • Poor correlation between magnitude of delay and symptoms • No data to support improving assymptomatic gastroparesis • improves long term diabetes control or prevents diabetes complications • Treat for symptom relief Stacher, G. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 1999; 84:2357.
- 26. Treatment of Gastroparesis • Dietary maneuvers • Low residue • aka the Twinkie ® diet • Take a hike • Medications • Endoscopic treatment/Botox • Gastric pacemaker • Feeding tube
- 28. Low residue diet You should avoid: • Whole-grain breads, cereals and pasta • Whole vegetables and vegetable sauces • Whole fruits, including canned fruits • Seeds and nuts
- 30. Take a hike • Postprandial walking • 50 patients with DM • Emptying rates of 28 patients (56%) were within normal range of controls • 4 patients with accelerated emptying (8%). • 18 patients with delayed emptying (36%) Lipp, R. W. American Journal of Gastroenterology 2000; 95(2), 419–424.
- 31. Postprandial walking • Two variants of delayed gastric emptying (18 of 50 patients): • Counteracted by postprandial walking in 7 patients (39% of GP) • Not influenced by postprandial walking in 11 patients (61% of GP)
- 33. Medications • Erythromycin • Reglan/promethazine • Cisapride • Domperidone • Antiemetics
- 34. Erythromycin • Erythromycin • 3mg/kg IV over 45 min to ‘kick-start’ stomach • High amplitude gastric propulsive contractions which dump solid residue out of stomach • Evidence for po Erythro weak • 35 trials, only 5 ‘fulfilled inclusion criteria’, all small #,all short (< 4 weeks) • Improvement in 26 of 60 patients (43%) Prather, CM. Am J Physiol 1993; 264:G928. Keshavarzian, A. Am J Gastroenterol 1993; 88:193. Maganti, K. Am J Gastroenterol 2003; 98:259.
- 35. Erythromycin potential side effects • GI toxicity • Ototoxicity • Pseudomembranous colitis • Resistant bacterial strains • Sudden death due to prolonged QT interval
- 36. ACG 2011 Abstract # 875: Azithromycin verses Erythromycin • 13 patients, • AZI may be crossover trial better due to • 100 mg AZI • longer half life • Breath-testing • better SE profile prior to • lack P450 crossover interaction • Findings: Bioequivalent
- 37. 1-800-SoSueMe: Reglan • PO or SQ • Tardive dyskinesia • Irritability, anxiety, depression, hyperprolactinemia • 2010 meta analysis UK & Sweden tardive dyskinesia <1%, may be reversible if caught early Rao, AS. Aliment Pharmacol Ther 2010; 31:11.

- 52. Last ditch- the jejenostomy tube or decompressive PEG • Rarely needed
- 54. What evils are following your patients?
- 55. Gastroparesis • Symptoms don’t correlate with degree of emptying impairment • EGD and scintigraphy to diagnose • Lifestyle changes as mainstay of treatment • Reglan not as evil as previously supposed, newer management continues to be a ‘wash out’
