Diabetes can have significant effects on the gastrointestinal system, including nerve damage (neuropathy), increased risk of infections, and gastroparesis (slowed digestion). Neuropathy can cause abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits, while gastroparesis can lead to nausea, vomiting, and difficulty swallowing. Infections such as diarrhea and constipation are also common in people with diabetes.
