Gastrointestinal function represents an important, and hithertoinappropriately neglected, aspect of diabetes management.Disordered gastrointestinal motor and sensory function occursfrequently in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes and may be associatedwith gastrointestinal symptoms that adversely affect quality oflife.
During the last two decades there has been a rapid expansion inknowledge in this area. It is now recognised that uppergastrointestinal motility is pivotal to the regulation ofpostprandial blood glucose concentrations in both health andpatients with diabetes. This book is the first of its kind and wasstimulated by the need to consolidate these recent advances, whichdictate that a knowledge of gastroenterology as it relates todiabetes is now required of the clinician/diabetologist.
* Features an organ-specific overview of the epidemiology andpathophysiology of disordered gastrointestinal (includinghepatobiliary and pancreatic) function in diabetes mellitus
* Contains guidelines for the clinician, diabetologist andgastroenterologist for both diagnosis and management
* Includes a comprehensive description of the relation betweengastrointestinal function, gastrointestinal hormones, autonomicnerve function and glycaemic control in animal models
* Covers the development of new treatment options, particularlythose targeted at the reduction of postprandial hyperglycaemia, tooptimise glycaemic control
This book will be of interest to gastroenterologists,diabetologists, specialist nurses and clinical researchers.
