  • Title: Rapid gastric emptying of an oral glucose solution in type 2 diabetic patients.
    Author: Phillips WT, Schwartz JG, McMahan CA.
    Journal: J Nucl Med; 1992 Aug; 33(8):1496-500. PubMed ID: 1634941.
    Abstract:
    Gastric emptying of a liquid glucose meal was measured with scintigraphic techniques in nine recently diagnosed Type 2 diabetic patients and nine sex- and age-matched nondiabetic control subjects. Seven of the nine Type 2 diabetic patients were receiving oral hypoglycemic therapy which was discontinued the evening prior to the study. The other two diabetic patients were taking no medication. The average gastric half-emptying time was 33.6 min (s.e.m. = 3.2) for the diabetic patients and 64.6 min (s.e.m. = 4.2) for the nondiabetic controls (p = 0.0005). These measurements indicate rapid gastric emptying in Type 2 diabetic patients which may contribute to worsening of glucose control in these patients.
