Summary

A pilot study to assess the safety, feasibility, and potential (uncontrolled) efficacy of continuous glucose monitoring (CGMS) in conjunction with an insulin pump to improve glycemic control for treatment of type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients with gastroparesis

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Age 18 - 70 years old at registration
  • Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes mellitus for at least 2 years
  • Symptoms of gastroparesis (nausea, vomiting, early satiety, bloating, fullness, discomfort) for at least 1 year prior to registration
  • Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index (GCSI) score of 18
  • Delayed gastric emptying on gastric scintigraphy within 1 year of registration, defined as greater than 60% retention at 2 hours or greater than 10% retention at 4 hours
  • Hemoglobin A1c of at least 8.0% at registration regardless of current therapy. Individuals already receiving diabetes therapy via an insulin pump will be eligible for study participation if, in the opinion of the investigators, he/she may acquire additional benefit from continuous glucose monitoring that might improve glycemic control
  • Normal upper endoscopy within 1 year of registration
  • No clinical or imaging evidence of obstruction
  • Successful mastering of use of CGMS during the run-in period

Exclusion Criteria

  • Prior gastric surgery including fundoplication
  • Other systemic disease potentially causative of gastrointestinal symptoms
  • Acute or chronic renal insufficiency with creatinine >1.5 mg/dL
  • Psychiatric disease or eating disorder
  • Pregnancy
  • Any other condition which, in the opinion of the investigators, would impede compliance or hinder completion of the study
