Abstract
Gastroparesis is a long-term complication of diabetes related to autonomic neuropathy. It is characterized clinically by delayed gastric emptying and upper gastrointestinal symptoms, including early satiety, postprandial fullness, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Gastric emptying scintigraphy is the gold standard for diagnosis as it reveals delayed gastric emptying. Therapeutic strategies include dietary modifications, improvement of glycemic control, and prokinetic drugs. Case descriptions of diabetic gastroparesis in pediatric ages are very scarce. We report the case of a 16-year-old adolescent with severe presentation of diabetic gastroparesis. She presented with recurrent episodes of nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain which led progressively to reduced oral intake and weight loss. Her past glycemic control had been quite brittle, as demonstrated by several hospitalizations due to diabetic ketoacidosis and recurrent episodes of severe hypoglycemia. After the exclusion of infectious, mechanical, metabolic, and neurological causes of vomiting, a gastric emptying scintigraphy was performed, leading to the diagnosis of gastroparesis. Treatment with metoclopramide was started with progressive relief of symptoms. To improve glycemic control, insulin therapy with an advanced hybrid, closed loop system was successfully started. Pediatricians should consider diabetic gastroparesis in children and adolescents with long-standing, poorly controlled diabetes and appropriate symptomology.

Abstract
Recent years witnessed advancements in diabetes technologies and therapeutics. People with type 1 diabetes have more options to control their blood glucose, prevent hypoglycemia, and spend more time with their loved ones. Newer diabetes technologies and therapeutics improve the quality of life and boost the confidence of people with type 1 diabetes. In parallel to changes in the diabetes technology field, stem cell research has been evolving. Gene editing and production of β cells from stem cells are ongoing. The current focus of cure studies is how to increase the survival of cells produced with stem cells. New adjunctive therapies are under development.

Abstract
Delayed gastric emptying occurs in up to 30% of patients with long-standing diabetes and causes significant morbidity. We performed a retrospective cohort study of 341 patients who had participated in a gastric emptying study from 2018 to 2021 in a large teaching hospital. Given the expected prevalence of gastroparesis in people with diabetes, there were fewer studies than anticipated, which could lead to gastroparesis underrecognition.

Abstract
Gastric emptying is a major determinant of postprandial blood glucose, accounting for ~35% of variance in peak glucose in both healthy individuals and those with type 2 diabetes. Gastric emptying is frequently disordered in individuals with diabetes (both abnormally delayed and accelerated). Delayed gastric emptying, i.e. diabetic gastroparesis, may be linked to upper gastrointestinal symptoms for which current treatment remains suboptimal; pharmacological acceleration of delayed emptying is only weakly associated with symptom improvement. Accordingly, the relationship between symptoms and delayed gastric emptying is not simply 'cause and effect'. In insulin-treated patients, disordered gastric emptying, even when not associated with gastrointestinal symptoms, can cause a mismatch between the onset of insulin action and the availability of absorbed carbohydrate, leading to suboptimal glycaemic control. In patients with type 2 diabetes, interventions that slow gastric emptying, e.g. glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, reduce postprandial blood glucose. This review focuses on recent insights into the impact of gastric emptying on postprandial blood glucose, effects of diabetes therapy on gastric emptying and the management of disordered gastric emptying in diabetes. In view of the broad relevance of gastric emptying to diabetes management, it is important that future clinical trials evaluating novel therapies that may affect gastric emptying should quantify the latter with an appropriate technique, such as scintigraphy or a stable isotope breath test.

Abstract
Abstract Diabetic gastroparesis (DGP) is an autonomic neuropathy resulting from long-standing poorly controlled diabetes, and it is also linked to fluctuations in glycemic control due to variability on nutrient absorption. Objectives Considering the scarcity of information, the aim of this study was to identify the impact of modifications on diet consistency on post-prandial glucose variability using a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and its effect on the perception and severity of gastrointestinal symptoms. Methods This proof-of-concept study was carried out in a cross-sectional cohort of six individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus with confirmed diagnosis of DGP. Two types of diet were used to evaluate glycemic control and DGP symptoms, general consistency standard meal (SD) and modified consistency test diet (MD), associated with an application of rapid acting insulin at the time of food intake. Glycemic control was evaluated by CGM, and the Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index (GCSI) was applied after meals. Results The CGM curve was different for MD + insulin and SD + insulin. There was a smaller increment of interstitial glucose with 2 h after MD + insulin, returning almost to the basal level 4 h later. Patients scored significantly lower GCSI after MD + insulin compared to the same index after they received SD + insulin. Moreover, there was a decrease in important clinical scores present in the index, like: "Not able to finish meal", "Loss of appetite" and "Stomach or belly feels larger". Conclusion This study showed that a modified diet can improve postprandial glycemic excursion and the perception and severity of gastroparesis symptoms.
