Delayed gastric emptying is known as an important organic cause for brittle diabetes. We proposed the interval from the start of a meal to the rise in blood glucose, defined as blood glucose latency (T BG) as an index for gastric emptying and a non-invasive test for diabetic gastropathy. In order to validate this test we compared it in 22 type 1 diabetic patients with an established scintigraphic method for the measurement of gastric half-emptying time (T1/2) and found the following correlation: T BG = 4.4 + 0.162 x T1/2; r 0.79, P < 0.001. We therefore suggest measuring the blood glucose latency as a simple non-invasive screening method.
