| Abstract |
In 10 patients with Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus gastric emptying of a digestible solid and liquid meal was measured during euglycaemia (blood glucose concentration 4-8 mmol/l) and during hyperglycaemia (blood glucose concentration 16-20 mmol/l). Gastric emptying was studied with a scintigraphic technique and blood glucose concentrations were stabilised using a modified glucose clamp. Patients were also evaluated for gastrointestinal symptoms, autonomic nerve function and glycaemic control. When compared to euglycaemia, the duration of the lag phase before any of the solid meal emptied from the stomach (p = 0.032), the percentage of the solid meal remaining in the stomach at 100 min (p = 0.032) and the 50% emptying time for the solid meal (p = 0.032) increased during hyperglycaemia. The 50% emptying time for the liquid meal (p = 0.042) was also prolonged during the period of hyperglycaemia. These results demonstrate that the rate of gastric emptying in Type 1 diabetes is affected by the blood glucose concentration. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 August 2008.
All research outputs
#7,474,859
of 22,851,489 outputs
Outputs from Diabetologia
#2,834
of 5,035 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#4,698
of 16,826 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Diabetologia
#4
of 7 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,851,489 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,035 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 22.7. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 16,826 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 7 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 3 of them.
