Background: Electrogastrography (EGG) enables the cutaneous measurement of gastric electric activity. An association between electric abnormalities and gastrointestinal motility disorders has been shown. The primary objective of this study was to investigate whether diabetic gastroparesis could be predicted by EGG. Methods: EGG was performed in 18 insulin-treated type-II diabetics (9 female, 9 male; median age, 64 years; range, 45-76 years) with chronic dyspepsia. After an overnight fast, during 1 h in the fasting and 1 h in the fed state after ingestion of a liquid-solid test meal (370 kcal; liquid phase labeled with 0.5 mCi Tc-99m-colloid) antral electric activity was captured by one pair of electrodes sonographically placed on the skin overlying the gastric antrum. Several EGG variables including dominant frequency (DF), percentages of DF in the normal range (2-4 cycles per minute (cpm)), bradygastria ( 0.05). Moreover, the EGG values in diabetics with delayed gastric emptying (about 40%) did not differ from data in diabetics without gastroparesis. Furthermore, whereas dyspepsia correlated significantly with radioscintigraphy, no correlation with EGG could be found. Conclusions: Electrogastrography seems to be unsuitable for assessment of motility disorders in type-II diabetics.
