Diabetes can cause persistently high blood sugar levels, which can cause nerve damage resulting in constipation. Symptoms of constipation can be uncomfortable.

Having constipation means that your bowel movements are difficult or less frequent than usual. If you have bowel movements less than three times a week, you may be constipated. The normal time between bowel movements varies from person to person. Some people have to defecate three times a day. While other people have to have bowel movements only a few times a week. But going more than 3 days without it is usually too long. After 3 days, your stool becomes harder and more difficult to pass.
