I am diabetic type 2 since 2007 and continuously suffer from constipation. I take Lactulose 15ml twice daily. Constipation gives me severe back ache going to both legs. I have severe osteo-arthritis of spine.
I take Metformin MR 500mg 2 in the morning and 1 in the evening. My HbA1c had been below six but recently went to 6, than 6.2 and now 6.3 (This is when evening does of Metformin was added)
I am 77 years of age.
Any suggestions to help me please so that I get regular motion. Recently I started drinking hot water with lemon and salt first thing in the morning, It worked fine but stopped working after few days.
Also please suggest what Vitamins are suitable. I was taking Forceval since many years and now my GP has stopped prescribing.
Thanks to all and kind regards
