Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease of multiple etiologies. Global statistics of diabetes mellitus showed that 382 million people in the world had the disease; type II diabetes mellitus represented 90% of cases.Diabetic gastroparesis is a serious complication due to diabetes mellitus. Further studies suggest that diabetes mellitus is associated with up to 75% of gastrointestinal symptoms, in diabetic gastroparesis; the antral body contractions are ineffective, although the smooth muscle layers appear to be normal. Gastric  emptying  scintigraphy  is  considered  the  gold  standard  for  diagnosis  and  quantification of delayed gastric emptying. The goal of treatment is to reduce symptoms, correct nutrition, and improve quality of life. Includes prokinetic medications like first line, nausea and vomiting can be controlled with some antiemetic medications, it should also include education and support diet, 
behavior changes.
