Question
Why do diabetic patients often experience diarrhea?
Answer
Diabetic patients often experience diarrhea due to elevated blood sugar levels causing damage to the intestinal nerves, which in turn affects the movement of the intestines and leads to diarrhea. Additionally, poor blood sugar control may lead to other digestive system issues, such as constipation and indigestion. To address these problems, preventive measures and relief can be achieved through controlling diabetes, adjusting dietary structure, establishing good bowel habits, and traditional Chinese medicine treatment.
