[QUOTE="Marvin, post: 140651, member: 25832"] This all goes to show that we need to be cautious in the advice we give each other because people differ, not least in their reaction to specific drugs. Movicol does not work on me at all, and as I told the consultant this, that may be the reason he prescribed Lactulose, knowing it should be used WITH CAUTION in diabetics. My query about its suitability presumably prompted him to reassure me it wasn't absorbed by the body and therefore he decided IN MY CASE and circumstances that it was the drug of choice. (Believe me, [i]something[/i] was needed... an anal fissure is not a thing I'd wish on my worst enemy!, and at the time the most important thing was to get it healed). I was fortunate that in my case the Lactulose did the trick and did notraise my BG levels either. But in another case the whole story could be different. This is why we should NEVER give other people drugs prescribed for us even if they have identical symptoms. [/QUOTE]
