Cardiac autonomic neuropathy is a particularly<br \/>\nserious manifestation that may be associated with silent myocardial infarction and represents a major risk for<br \/>\ncardiovascular (CV) mortality. Simple inexpensive tests of cardiac autonomic function are markedly underused.<br \/>\nGastric autonomic neuropathy is not only associated with upper gastrointestinal symptoms but also has impacts on<br \/>\npostprandial blood glucose control.
