Hi,

I read your question thoroughly. As you have diabetes, I would recommend you to have a proper ear and eye examination. Further course of action maybe advised accordingly.

For constipation:

- stop any medication being used for constipation for a week
- thrice daily, take two tea spoon (or one big spoon) isphagula husk with 200 to 300 mL water
- increase warm water(at least 8 glass/day) intake
- do not drink water during and after meals
- eat small meals (rich in fiber)
- eat plentiful "fresh oranges" and "pear "
- avoid COLD milk and and AVOID junk food (NO burger, pizza-even if its veg) altogether
- mix few drops of "lemon juice" in warm water.
- drink water on empty stomach, early in the morning, to aid in bowel movement
- avoid beverages / alcohol/ soft drinks
- do some exercise (push-ups / squats etc) early in the morning
- avoid carbonated drinks
- take 2-3 spoon edible virgin olive oil in the morning

If no resolution after 10 days, then better to visit treating physician.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Tayyab Malik
