Condition
Gastroparesis, diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM type I)
Intervention
Gastric emptying rate (GER) was measured by standardised real time ultrasonography on the condition that fasting blood glucose was 3.5 to 9.0 mmol/l. Gastric emptying rate was calculated as the percentage change in the antral cross-sectional area 15 and 90 minutes after ingestion of 300 g rice pudding and two decilitres of water or 300 g rice pudding and two decilitres of water and 30 millilitres of apple cider vinegar. The subjects drank 200 ml water daily before breakfast one week before the measurement of GER. The same subjects drank 200 ml with 30 ml vinegar daily before breakfast for two weeks before the measurement of GER.
