Gastric emptying during and following resolution of moderate diabetic ketoacidosis in type 1 diabetes: a case series
Authors' conclusion
GE of solids and liquids is not affected by moderate DKA, inferring that earlier reintroduction of oral intake may be appropriate.
Study context
- Population
- Patients with T1D admitted with moderate diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA); age 29±12 years, BMI 23±3 kg/m², HbA1c 11.3%±1.9%crossover: same patients studied twice
- Participants
- 5 patients
- Exposure
- Gastric emptying (GE) during DKA admission vs following resolution
- Outcome
- Solid GE (% intragastric retention at 100 min) and liquid GE (50% emptying time), measured by scintigraphy
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Solid GE: intragastric retention at 100 min
P = 0.31
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
Liquid GE: time to empty 50% of liquid · no difference
P = 0.31
