[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 2209039, member: 30007"] There are a number of factors that affect the gastric tract as a result of type 1 diabetes. The first of these is the speed at which food is absorbed, which in the early years generally speeds up due to the lack of the hormone Amylin which is also missing from the body as the beta cells produce it. Then there is the issue with variability of glucose levels, which does have an impact on gastric health. Observational studies have shown that it's possible 30%-50% of people with type 1 may have slow gastric transit (an example study is here [URL]https://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/25/5/912[/URL]). Gastric emptying also varies based on glucose levels, so slows down when your glucose levels are high ([URL]https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/103/9/3503/4996517[/URL]). So yes, a relationship between type 1 diabetes and gastric health is well documented. [/QUOTE]
