Some patients with diabetes will experience diarrhea, some may be a side effect of taking glucose-lowering medications, such as metformin or Bysylpine, which can have gastrointestinal side effects, but more likely, there may be autonomic complications of diabetes.
Diabetes can easily lead to intestinal microangiopathy, which causes autonomic damage, followed by intestinal dysfunction, increased bowel movements, and abnormal bacterial growth in the intestine leading to diarrhea. The most common symptom in this group of patients is persistent diarrhea, which is usually without abdominal pain and simply manifests as intestinal dysfunction.
In this case, the first step is to strictly control blood sugar, adjust glucose-lowering medications, replace medications that may cause diarrhea, improve food structure appropriately, exercise reasonably, adjust work and rest appropriately, and strengthen the body’s immunity. If the diarrhea is more serious, you can apply antidiarrheal drugs or intestinal probiotics appropriately.
