Serious Complication Of Diabetes - Gastroparesis

In fact, it is not fully understood because the nerves are affected by diabetes. If the peripheral nervous system is affected, it is a theory, the excess blood sugar can suppress the external Schwann cells around the nerve irritation and swelling, ultimately, the nerve cells. While sensory neuropathy (peripheral neuropathy, an aspect), may in many ways and the type of neuropathy is closely associated with type 2 diabetes, autonomic neuropathy, a condition for other diabetics are aware.

Autonomic neuropathy refers to the nerves that control automatic functions more or less:

    * Stomach
    * Sweating
    * Digestive,
    * Guts
    * Bubble
    * Penalties and
    * Circulatory disorders.

Gastroparesis is a stomach problem associated with neuropathy ... is a serious complication of diabetes caused by damage to nerves that control muscle activity of the stomach automatically. This alters the normal process of emptying.

Gastroparesis is a disease that many people suffer from a food empty stomach is not as fast as it was designed. While millions of Americans, the disease is not aware that there is a phenomenon that is common in people with type 2 diabetes. For those diagnosed with diabetes is not new. But for those who regularly suffer from gastroparesis, which is not diagnosed with type 2 diabetes should be aware that the main cause of this disease is diabetes.

Why is there a better link between type 2 diabetes and gastroparesis? Simply ... because diabetes leads to a drastic change in blood sugar. This also affects changes in body chemistry, one in the stomach. This particular form of variation of chemical damage to blood vessels in the stomach, which are mainly used to provide oxygen and other nutrients to move the nerve.

The most important nerve that passes through the major nerves in the stomach area is called vagus nerve. Over time begins the impact of diabetes, the vagus nerve damage caused gastroparesis.

This condition is specific for these symptoms: You can:

    * Heartburn,
    * Nausea,
    * Vomiting
    * In gastroesophageal reflux disease,
    * Swelling, and also
    * Diarrhea or constipation.

Some foods that cause the symptoms of increasing severity: food that is:

    * High in fiber, like fruits and raw vegetables, and

go a long way to healing. This is the easiest, and most have already said, you need to go. Oral medications are often prescribed for relief and depending on the severity of symptoms. In extreme cases you may need to install a probe.

This is really ... good control of blood sugar is the most effective way to improve the symptoms of neuropathy.
