I'm really worried about my mom's health. She's been dealing with diabetic hyperglycemia for about 15 years now, and things seem to have gotten more complicated. Just recently, she had pus in her left kidney because of a urinary infection related to her diabetes. I'm really anxious about whether the treatment she's getting is the right fit for her. What should we be looking out for, and is there anything else we should consider?

I'm a bit concerned because after taking Dulcoflex tablets, I've noticed that I'm urinating a lot more throughout the day and I'm also experiencing some weight loss. Could you help me figure out what's going on and suggest an alternative or a better approach?

I recommend you stop taking it. Instead, you can try using Senokot tablets. Take 1-2 tablets at bedtime as needed for constipation. Make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day. If you continue to experience high urine output and weight loss, please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
