HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Gastroparesis is a possible complication of diabetes. It is normally related to the control of the blood sugars that can cause this complication.
There are medications that control peristalsis (movement of the intestine) that may help with your symptoms.
There are medications that can help to increase movement such metoclopramide, domperidone, cisapride.
I hope this helps
