Can diabetic gastroparesis heal itself?

Diabetic gastroparesis usually does not self-heal.

The occurrence of diabetic gastroparesis is closely related to the damage of autonomic nerves caused by diabetes. Long-term hyperglycemia affects the nerve function that governs the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in gastric motility disorders. This nerve damage is often irreversible and difficult to return to normal, which means that gastroparesis usually does not self-heal.

In addition, diabetes itself is a disease that requires long-term management and treatment. If blood sugar is not well controlled, gastroparesis will also progress. Simply hoping for self-healing without effective treatment measures will not solve the problem, but may also lead to more serious consequences, such as malnutrition.

Since diabetic gastroparesis cannot self-heal, patients need to seek medical attention in time, through reasonable treatment programs to alleviate symptoms, improve gastric motility, and actively control blood sugar to delay the progression of the disease.
