“…Agunloye et al 65 found that the incidence of gallstones in patients with T2DM was closely related to the course of DM, through abdominal ultrasonography in 400 patients with T2DM. Toosi et al 66 also proposed that the prevalence of gallstones was positively correlated with the course of DM. Most patients with DM complicated with gallstones have no obvious discomfort symptoms.…”

Diabetic nephropathy is the most common microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus. With the increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus, diabetic neuropathy has become the primary cause of chronic nephropathy cases. Diabetes mellitus and chronic nephropathy exert certain effects on the digestive system. diabetic neuropathy patients also have digestive system symptoms and gastrointestinal diseases, with most presenting such problems as decreased gastrointestinal tract tension, insufficient gastric motility, decreased contractility, and delayed gastric emptying; these problems are often accompanied by symptoms of digestive system dysfunction, such as constipation, dry stool, tenesmus. This article will summarize and discuss the effects and mechanism of diabetic neuropathy involving the digestive system.

At present, the incidence of diabetes complicated with gallstones is increasing rapidly, and there are still many problems in the pathogenesis of the disease. Diabetes complicated with gallstones is a chronic complication of diabetes, with diabetes-induced hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance, gallbladder emptying disorders, Oddis sphincter dysfunction, gastrointestinal hormone disorders, gastrointestinal dyskinesia, fat metabolism disorders, bile Bacterial infection and other factors are related. In recent years, it has been found that in diabetic patients, Telocytes (TC) and Cajal interstitial cells (ICC) are reduced in the biliary system. In addition, the contact between ICC cells and smooth muscle cells and nerve endings is significantly reduced, so it is considered that bile Stone formation has a certain relationship with TC and ICC reduction. This article reviews recent research progress.

“…Its prevalence is less than 5% in African countries, 3 and 15% in North American population. 4 In Iran, the prevalence of GSD was reported to be about 0.8% in Amol, 5 2.5% in Birjand, 6 and 4.7% in Southern Iran. 7 Risk factors for GSD have been described in previous epidemiological reports and obesity and hyperinsulinemia are the most related of these.…”
