Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic .

Electral powder may be given safely to diabetic patients. Since it contains glucose you need to check blood sugar level at least 3 times a day till the diarrhea subsides.

If diarrhea doesn't subside in 1 or 2 days, then consult physician again.

Hope I have answered your query . If any further queries are there I would love to help .
