Hi. I've just been diagnosed with type 2 mid May.
In January 2023 my Haemoglobin A1c blood sugar level was 36 mmol/mol .
I had a major haemorrhoid surgery on March 22nd (12 years on the NHS waiting list as anaemic ) .
From 22nd March I was taking Lactulose 20mls x 2 per day plus 1 sachet of Laxido night and morning, then lowered on discharge from hospital 6 days later to 20ml at night and 15ml in the morning per day plus the Laxido. I am still taking this amount.
Mid April my blood sugar level went to 50 mmol/mol, and mid May to 52 mmol/mol. I still am taking 20mls at night and 15ml in the morning
Nothing in my diet has changed from January 2023. I don't bother making cakes as live on my own, rarely eat a biscuit, don't bother with alcohol, don't eat much pasta, or chocolate or deserts. Could this be the Lactulose causing this raised blood sugar levels?
Not sure how long I will be on Lactulose. as not yet seen the haemorrhoid consultant. Next diabetes review mid August.
Anyone got any thoughts/experience of raised blood sugar from taking Lactulose daily?
