Link between sugar substances and stomach problems in diabetes
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how sugar-related substances (called advanced glycation end products) might affect stomach muscle function in people with diabetes who have gastroparesis (slow stomach emptying). It compares them to people without diabetes to better understand the link.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You either have diabetes with stomach-emptying symptoms (like nausea, bloating, or feeling full quickly) OR you have no diabetes and no stomach symptoms
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You are not taking certain medications that affect stomach movement (like prokinetics, anticholinergics, or dopamine drugs)
- You have not had surgery on your stomach or intestines
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant

This trial tests a new treatment called washed microbiota transplantation for diabetic gastroparesis, a condition where the stomach empties slowly due to diabetes. If you have had diabetes for over a year and struggle with bloating or feeling full quickly, this study may explore whether transplanting healthy gut bacteria can help relieve your symptoms.
This study looks at whether abnormal function of the pyloric “stomach outlet” muscle is linked to gastroparesis symptoms (slow stomach emptying). It may help researchers better understand what causes symptoms and guide future treatments.
This study looks at gastroparesis, a condition where the stomach empties food too slowly, in younger adults with type 2 diabetes. It may help researchers understand how common this problem is and how it affects people like you.
This study tests if virtual yoga classes can help people with diabetes and gastroparesis (slow stomach emptying) feel better. It looks at whether yoga can ease symptoms like nausea, bloating, and stomach pain.
This study looks at whether nerve damage from diabetes affects how long semaglutide (a diabetes medicine) stays in the stomach, which can cause stomach retention. It may help doctors understand who is more likely to have this side effect.
This study looks at how diabetes affects stomach function by measuring stomach activity with special tests. It may help doctors better understand and treat stomach problems in people with diabetes.
