The frequency of dyspeptic symptoms in patients with diabetes mellitus is higher than in non-diabetic subjects. The origin of dyspepsia in diabetics is debatable. The development of this condition appears to depend on sex, duration of the disease, diabetic complications, correction of hyperglycemia, and infection by different strains of Helicobacterpylori. In patients without organic gastrointestinal diseases, dyspeptic symptoms may be regarded as manifestations of autonomous diabetic neuropathy or of functional dyspepsia syndrome in the absence of neuropathy.
