3. Blood Sugar Fluctuations
Gastroparesis can be caused by diabetes, which can damage the vagus nerve that stimulates stomach functioning. The condition may also aggravate symptoms of diabetes and blood sugar fluctuations. The irregularity of digestion and metabolism caused by this condition can lead to irregular blood sugar and can aggravate diabetes.
It is important to have this condition diagnosed as soon as you experience symptoms because the problem can be hazardous for those who already have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. Since your stomach cannot pass food efficiently to the small intestine, the condition untreated can threaten blood sugar regulation.
