*Since diabetic gastroparesis is a manifestation of diabetic autonomic neuropathy, measures such as strict glycemic control in patients with diabetes, which is advocated for the primary prevention of neuropathy, probably holds true for the prevention of gastroparesis in patients with diabetes.
*Strict [[glycemic control]]
Work with a registered dietician (RD) or nutrition support specialist (nurse or doctor) to design a dietary plan to meet your individual needs; understand how to use and maintain dietary and nutritional therapies.
*Maintaining a proper [[Diet (nutrition)|dietary]] and [[Nutritional Therapy in Diabetes|nutritional therapies]] by working with a registered dietician
Eat frequent, small meals that are low in fat and fiber. Fat, fiber, and large meals can delay stomach emptying and worsen symptoms.
*Having frequent, small meals that are low in [[fat]] and [[Dietary fiber|fiber]]
Keep hydrated and as nutritionally fit as possible.
**[[Fat]], [[Dietary fiber|fiber]], and large meals can delay stomach emptying and worsen symptoms
If you have diabetes, maintain good glucose control. Irregular stomach emptying can negatively affect blood sugar levels. Keeping your blood sugar under control may help stomach emptying.
*Keeping hydrated by drinking adequate amounts of water
Before having surgery, ask your doctor, surgeon, or health care team about risks involved and weigh these against the benefits. Ask about alternatives.
*[[Alcohol]] and [[smoking cessation]]
Let your doctor and pharmacist know about all medications you are taking – prescription and over-the-counter, as well as any supplements.
