Hi Sometimes uncontrolled diabetes for a long duration damages the nerves and results in neuropathy which affects the bowels as well. This has to be managed mostly with diet. Have a high fibre diet, eat lots of vegetables and green leafy vegetables and drink lots of water to regularize your bowel movements.
