Dear sir I understand your concern.I am sorry to hear you have been having difficulties with constipation.the best way to fright constipation is increase fiber content of food.there are many natural fibers available in daily food like green leaf veggs.its always advisable to take veg salad during night time and after getting up from bed take 500ml of water early morning.this will help in regularising bowel habits and help in fighting constipation.the drugs what you are taking for diabetes are fine in my opinion.I honestly hope this helps you as you work towards identifying the best ways to beat your constipation. Feel free to come back if you need more information.
I wish you good health.
