Diabetic gastroparesis is a form of autonomic neuropathy, which is one of the complications of diabetes. Although not frequently seen, it is a significant condition that severely impacts the quality of life. The variety and severity of symptoms can differ from patient to patient, and the response to treatment may also vary. In particular, in elderly patients, those with long-standing diabetes, and those with inadequate glycemic control, symptoms such as weight loss, anorexia, early satiety, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting should raise suspicion for gastroparesis. In this article, we present a case of a 64-year-old patient with type 2 diabetes whose underlying cause of severe abdominal pain was diabetic gastroparesis.
