Not sure: How acute diarrhea is associated with Diabetes. Regardless you may need some tests to help figure out and help you feel better. In meantime don't worry so much about eating but do increase your fluid intake. Half Gatorade half water should do the trick. SEE a doc this week if you still feel ill.

Hydration: Number one is to stay well hydrated. Drink plenty of fluids to keep your urine pale yellow to clear. Secondly, get some kefir, which has twelve different strains of probiotics (good bacteria for your gut) and drink two large glasses per day. Your diarrhea should stop in two to four days.
