About Session
Constipation is a prevalent yet often overlooked gastrointestinal complication in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Affecting up to 60% of diabetic patients, this condition significantly impacts quality of life and may lead to severe complications if left untreated. Despite its prevalence, the connection between diabetes and constipation remains understudied and frequently undertreated in clinical practice. This session will explore the multifaceted relationship between T2DM and constipation, including the role of medications, and lifestyle factors. Join us as Gastroenterologist Dr. Manish Bhatnagar discuss the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management strategies for this important complication.
