Hi
Thanks for writing in
It is evident that the problem is with the propulsion of the movement in diabetic patients
I would suggest you take a prokinetic twice a day along with plenty of fluids and added fiber
A bulk forming agent like psyllum husk may also help in propulsion
Hope this helps
DO write back in case of concern
