The lactulose is to combat constipation that often comes after a general anaesthetic. I'm not sure if it will raise your blood glucose but anything is better than post op chronic constipation and I speak from experience.
Hi Hobbs thank you....I will give it a go you are right..anything is better....feeling awful at moment...but glad to be home

The lactulose is not adsorbed by the body as it is an osmotic laxative and so should have no effect on your blood sugars. Also be aware it takes a few days to have an effect, so needs to be taken regularly.
