Nordic research collaboration studying digestive complications in diabetes.
Register to participate in the study.
Why is this urgent?
More than half of people living with diabetes suffer from undiagnosed or misdiagnosed digestive complications unnecessarily
The root causes
1. Overlapping of Symptoms
Diabetic Gastroparesis (DGP), Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) and Celiac Disease (CD) have overwhelmingly similar symptoms.
2. Slow progression
Disease evolution can occur over decades rather than months, making the diagnosis difficult without a clear view of the full picture.
DGP can take 20 years to develop and be innocently dismissed as just dyspepsia; until the frequency and the intensity increases enough to impact daily life. A diagnosis usually happens AFTER permanent damage has occurred.
How does the study works?
Register for DICODI via Redcap
Fill out several questionnaires to gain an accurate reading about your current state
Monitor your condition by updating your profile and repeating the questionnaries. Firslty, after 3 months and every 6 months afterwards.
By joining this study, you are not only helping on the understanding on digestive complications, but on the full picture of diabetic neurodegeneration

What is our approach?
The physicians specialized in digestive problems in Diabetes purpose to study the symptoms of the three complications simultaneously.
By crossing the results, a more accurate diagnosis is obtained. It can later be shared with your doctor if you chose to.
