TL;DR: A joint meeting of the 19th annual Diabetic Neuropathy Study Group of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (NEURODIAB) and the 8th International Symposium on Diabetes in Toronto, Canada, 13-18 October 2009, expert panels were convened to provide updates on classification, definitions, diagnostic criteria, and treatments of diabetic peripheral neuropathies as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Diabetes mellitus is associated with an increased prevalence of upper and lower gastrointestinal symptoms, which may be linked to poor glycemic control but not to duration of diabetes or type of treatment.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the rate of gastric emptying in Type 1 diabetes is affected by the blood glucose concentration.

TL;DR: Results indicate in normal subjects that gastric emptying accounts for about 34 % of the variance in peak plasma glucose after a 75-g oral glucose load and plasma glucose levels at 120 min are inversely, rather than directly, related to gastric emptied.

TL;DR: The authors, a group with expertise in the clinical, pathologic and genetic aspects of these disorders, developed the International Consensus Classification (ICC), aimed at facilitating diagnosis and prognostication of these neoplasms, improving treatment of affected patients, and allowing the design of innovative clinical trials.
