Dear Patient, As a 63-year-old with Type 3c diabetes and inguinal hernia, it is important to manage constipation carefully. Duphalac (lactulose) syrup is generally safe for relieving constipation, including at night. It works by softening stools and is not absorbed into the bloodstream, so it does not affect blood sugar significantly. What you should do - Start with a small dose (e.g., 15–30 ml at night) and adjust based on stool consistency - Drink plenty of water throughout the day - Include fiber-rich foods such as vegetables, fruits, and whole grains if tolerated - Avoid straining during bowel movements, especially with your hernia consult me if - Persistent constipation despite treatment - Severe abdominal pain, vomiting, or swelling in the hernia area - Blood in stools or sudden worsening of bowel habits For further guidance and personalized treatment you may consult me on Practo anytime.
