This is because high blood sugar will damage the autonomic nerves, and thus affect the normal movement of the intestinal tract.

Patients should appropriately increase the amount of exercise according to their own conditions, such as walking, jogging, swimming, etc., which can enhance gastrointestinal motility and improve constipation. 4.

If suspected to be caused by drugs, inform the doctor in time, and the doctor may adjust the treatment plan according to the specific situation. 5, other factors mental psychological factors such as long-term anxiety, tension, etc. may also affect intestinal function.
