cbreland  I agree, felt like all the other choices would have something odd in the stool studies +

myoclonictonicbionic  How would stool be different in secretory or osmotic diarrhea? They state that he has loose stool which could also indicate osmotic/secretory diarrhea. I think they are trying to hint that he has diabetes for 26yrs therefore he has diabetes enteropathy and therefore motility issues +6
takayasuarteritis  I'm with you on this. I think it's a myenteric nerve plexus issue from long-standing diabetes. +14
drpee  Neuropathy makes sense for T1DM, I guess I just expected a motility issue to cause constipation rather than diarrhea... +19
mnunez187  Moving too fast or moving too slow +
