RESULTS The gastric emptying pattern of the diabetic patients and the normal control
subjects are shown in Figure 1. The half-emptying time (Fig. 2) was significantly shorter (p=
0.0005) for the diabetic patients (average= 33.6 mm, sem= 3.2) than for the nondiabetic
control subjects (average= 64.6 mm, sem= 4.2). The area under the gastric emptying curve
during the first hour, representing an overall time-weighted average, for the diabetic patients
was 75% of the area under the curve for the nondiabetic control subjects (p= 0.001). The …
