Colonoscopy

I had a colonoscopy that will have to be repeated because the bowel prep didn't work properly. That's the first time this has happened to me. My previous colonoscopies were before I started taking dapagliflozin, metformin MR and sitagliptin.

Anybody have any tips on good bowel prep for colonoscopy with diabetes? I've been given senna tablets and advised to take seven days worth rather than five and to have a low fibre / residue diet for seven rather than three days.
