Is Constipation Ommon For Diabetic

I am 51 female suffering from diabetes and high BP. I was on riomet 500 mg for Diabetes and Prolomet AM 25 and repace25 for BP. Generally well controlled .Last 15 days back my sugar was 200 PP and hence advised Gemer 1 mg once a day. I always have constipation with hard stools but from the past 10 days I strain a lot. From yesterday I am Advised Riomet 500 again and advised Lactihep syrup 10 ml twice. passed soft stools today with less strain although feel that I did not pass completely. Is it because of gemer tablet? Will a diabetic have constipation? My mother was diagnosed with Colon cancer this April 2015 and was operated. No chemotherapy suggested as she is 82 T3N1. But she is fine now.She never had constipation but rectum bleeding for 4 days. My grandmother and great grand mother died with out any ailment.

It really depends on the medications you are prescribed, though most of these cause diarrhea as a side effect, according to NIH reports.

What does your normal diet consist of?

Are you on any other medications?

Do you have any other significant family history of medical issues?
