title: Epidemiology of gastrointestinal complications of diabetes mellitus.
abstract: Diabetes mellitus is a common condition that affects multiple organ systems, including the gastrointestinal tract. Although several clinic-based studies have shown gastrointestinal symptoms to be frequent in diabetic patients, population-based data are sparse. The impact of gastrointestinal complications on a typical person with diabetes in the community is largely unknown.
