ABSTRACT
Diabetic gatroparesis is defined as delay in gastric emptying, associated with poor glycemic control and it is often part on chronic complications of diabetes. It affects both Type 1 diabetics and long-term evolution type 2 diabetics, but it is more frequent in the first ones. This review is basically an update of this entity, which has an impact on the evolution and the prognosis of the diabetic patient, and is also considered a complication which is frequently underestimated because its symptoms are related to other affections. The increase in the current incidence of gastroparesis is associated to the increase in life expectancy of diabetic patients, mainly Type 1 diabetics, and permits to assist long-term complications which were uncommon before. Emphasis was made on diagnostic methods, especially the scintigraphy, because it is considered the most reliable, accurate, minimally invasive and reproducible exam for detection, evaluation and follow-up.
