摘要
Diabetes mellitus (DM) has a systemic consequence, influencing many systems of the body, including metabolic functions. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal complications among patients with type 2 DM in the Asser region of Saudi Arabia, identify sources of information, and investigate the association of these symptoms with disease duration and glycated hemoglobin. This cross-sectional study was conducted between November 13 and December 27, 2023. The questionnaire collected demographic data including age, sex, education, employment, income, and nationality, and 16 questions (5 points for each symptom) about the frequency of gastrointestinal symptoms in the past 3 months. The total score was 80, participants were categorized based on their total scores into 2 groups: those scoring 40 or below, and those scoring above 40. A total of 230 patients were included in this study, their median age was 32.0 (24.00) years, 60% were men, 63.9% were married, 38.7% earned between 5000 and 10,000 Saudi Riyal/month, 85.2% did not work in the medical field, 39.1% held university degrees, 54.8% did not have health insurance, 70.4% did not smoke, 35.7% worked in government jobs, 63% lived in urban areas, 95.2% were Saudi and 53.5% had only DM. More than half of the respondents, 57.4%, relied on doctors for information about DM. Dysmotility symptoms were common: dyspepsia affected 26.5% often and 5.7% always; early satiety impacted 24.3% often and 5.2% always; and bloating affected 28.3% often and 10.9% always. Constipation/diarrhea were a common complaint, with 23.5% of patients experiencing them often and an additional 4.8% reporting it always. Stool consistency also varied widely, with 21.7% experiencing lumpy or hardened stool. Health insurance status and having chronic diseases showed significant association with the severity of symptoms. Duration of diabetes and glycated hemoglobin were associated with the frequency of the symptoms. Gastrointestinal symptoms are common among diabetic patients in Aseer. The frequency of symptoms is associated with glycemic control, duration of diabetes, and health insurance status. These findings highlight the need for improved management and support for better gastrointestinal health in diabetes.
