Why is this urgent?

More than half of people living with diabetes suffer from undiagnosed or misdiagnosed digestive complications unnecessarily

The root causes

1. Overlapping of Symptoms

Diabetic Gastroparesis (DGP), Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) and Celiac Disease (CD) have overwhelmingly similar symptoms.

2. Slow progression

Disease evolution can occur over decades rather than months, making the diagnosis difficult without a clear view of the full picture.

DGP can take 20 years to develop and be innocently dismissed as just dyspepsia; until the frequency and the intensity increases enough to impact daily life. A diagnosis usually happens AFTER permanent damage has occurred.

What is our approach?

The physicians specialized in digestive problems in Diabetes purpose to study the symptoms of the three complications simultaneously.

By crossing the results, a more accurate diagnosis is obtained. It can later be shared with your doctor if you chose to.
