“…Several studies showed that disease duration of diabetes [117,120] and the presence of diabetic neuropathy [119,120] were associated with GERD. Because esophageal motility disorder and abnormal acid reflux in diabetic patients are associated with diabetic motor neuropathy [122] and such esophageal dysfunction is worsened with long disease duration [123], esophageal dysfunction may result in a higher prevalence of GERD in diabetic patients.…”

“…This was relevant with others' findings which showed GERD was more prevalent in DM patients than non-DM patients. 4,13,14 Nonetheless, GERD in this study was less prevalent than GERD in DM patients in United States (40.8% in DM population vs 18.1-27.8% in its general population). 15,29 It might be caused by higher mean BMI in that study (32 ± 7.2 kg/m 2 ) 15 than the BMI in our study (24.07 ± 4.32 kg/m 2 ), resulting in worse GERD symptoms attributable to the co-morbidity.…”

“…4,[12][13][14][15] Studies conducted in various countries have shown that GERD was a frequent complication in approximately 23-29% of DM patients and reached up to half of total diabetes cases in New Jersey, United States. [15][16][17][18][19][20] Another complexity of DM in the case of GERD is that DM will give poor prognostic effect to the latter since: (1) DM will reduce the effectiveness of acid-suppression therapy, which is the mainstay therapy of GERD 21 and; (2) DM increases the occurrence of Barrett's esophagus and esophageal cancer.…”
