Description
Jehad Aldali and co-authors estimate how common gastroparesis is among diabetic patients in Riyadh in a 2024 study. Gastroparesis, slow stomach emptying, varies widely in reported rates. The team also asked whether metformin, a common diabetes drug, links to its symptoms.
An online survey reached several hundred clinic patients, most with type 2 diabetes of long standing. A standard symptom index scored stomach complaints, and blood sugar control was often poor in the sample. Rates and drug links are reported with care for the survey design. Local clinics gain a baseline for a complication that is easy to miss.
