I have misplaced the post about constipation and my response about lactulose. According to the reference below, lactulose is a disaccharide, meaning that it is a single chemical which is NOT hydrolyzed in the system and not digested. That means that it should be quite safe for diabetics, and is till a very effective laxative.
