A doctor has provided 1 answer
MD guidance essentia: Improved pre-procedure patient education and smart phone based applications that remind patients of when to take their prep are showing promise with regard to improved patient tolerability. For DIABETIC: Work with your diabetes doctor on how best to manage carbohydrate as you prepare for the test. You may want to plan 45 grams of carbohydrate for liquid "meals" and 15 to 30 grams for snacks.

My husband had a colonoscopy 1 month ago. He is 61 and on high blood pressure Rx. No pre-existing kidney issues. A few days after his procedure he experienced lower back pain near kidney areas on both sides. It resolved but has now returned. Help?
This is probably nothing but my blood pressure keeps going down and down each time it's checked. I'm usually 112/80 but then it was 106/74, then 104/72, then the last time it was 80/54. I was laying down waiting for colonoscopy so I wasn't stressed.
