If I were you, I would take something more simple and easy on your body. All that stuff is working against you.
Magnesium pills (high potency) should help. Also, magnesium LOTION.
The lotion also helps neuropathy.
Acacia powder is a fiber
Oats
Chia seeds
Flax seeds
Coffee

I'm a magnesium proponent. Below is a helpful article.
I'm somewhat prone to constipation, so I have to stick with a slow morning routine for my system to move.
Travel is disruptive, as is increased stress for me. I also have to remember to get the water in during the day and the steps.

By the way I'm not diabetic, but I generally feel like I have incomplete evacuations. I was referred to a Gastroenterologist who wanted me to give Miralax a try. I did. It really doesn't seem to do much more than the Magnesium Citrate capsules that I take. I'm having a complete workup to R/O this and that.
Later this month I will see a Neurologist to have an evaluation of my neuropathy symptoms. I've had a nerve conduction study which was normal, but I have not had a skin punch. To be continued.
