Core Tip	In this review, we summarize the latest therapeutic approaches for refractory diabetic gastroparesis (DGP), a condition that may be difficult to treat. For most patients with refractory DGP, invasive and expensive treatment options are frequently applied. They cause mental suffering and are expensive, and not all patients are likely to benefit from these therapies. Therefore, as with many chronic conditions, patients may seek complementary and alternative therapies. In clinical practice, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) appears efficacious and offers a less invasive treatment option. Moreover, preliminary evidence in the literature has also suggested the efficacy of TCM.
