  Purpose

The objective of the study is in subjects with Insulin Treated Diabetes Mellitus type 1 or 2 and gastroparesis:

  • validate radiopaque markers with fluoroscopy with gastric scintigraphy method
  • study the difference of metabolic control including the frequents of hypoglycaemia, gastrointestinal symptoms, quality of life and nutrition state during dietary treatment of food of small particle size compared with food of large particle size
  • validate the radiopaque markers method and measurement of the blood glucose and gastrointestinal symptoms after a test meal, against the gastric scintigraphy
  • determine if the function of gastric emptying can be improved after intervention

Condition Intervention Phase
Diabetic Gastroparesis
 Dietary Supplement: dietary treatment: food of small particle size
Radiation: Validate X-ray diagnostic method.
Other: Can the motility be improved
Biological: postprandial plasma glucose
 Phase 2

Study Type: Interventional
