| Core Tip |
This study determined the bowel symptoms associated with diabetes. Patients underwent colonoscopy and completed a questionnaire on 9 bowel symptoms. Symptoms evaluated on a 7-point Likert scale were compared between baseline and the second questionnaire for test-retest reliability. Constipation and hard stools were associated with diabetes, and fecal urgency and incomplete evacuation were marginally associated with diabetes. These relations remained after excluding organic gastrointestinal diseases. Long-term reliability of symptom score suggested that these symptoms remain consistent over a given period. In diabetes, poor glycemic control, diabetes duration, low BMI, and high creatinine level were associated with these symptoms. |
