This may be a dumb question, but I haven't gotten the chance to have a proper sit-down with my doctors yet. Yesterday, I was diagnosed with diabetes, and I was wondering if it affects your stoma or output at all. All my family and friends that have diabetes are telling me the medication affects their stomach and causes them to poop more than usual, but none of them have an ostomy bag. So, I'm thinking it may cause more output for me? If any diabetic ostomates can answer my question, that would be great.
