Hello
The main problem with diarrhea in diabetes is dehydration and hypoglycemia.
Drieness and pain may be due to dehydration.
I would advice my patient to take plenty of oral fluids to overcome dehydration.
Secondly monitor the blood sugar regularly and adjust the dosage of the drugs accordingly to prevent hypoglycemia.
Eat frequent small meal to prevent hypoglycemic.
