Can people with diabetes eat diclofenac sodium enteric-coated tablets?

Patient's question:

The doctor felt uncomfortable in the stomach yesterday because he ate something wrong. I bought some sodium diclofenac enteric-coated tablets, but I am also a diabetic, so I wanted to ask you, doctor, can diabetics take these tablets? Will it cause any adverse effects?

Doctor's answer:

This medication is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that promotes blood circulation, but it also has significant side effects, such as irritating the stomach and intestines. Therefore, it is not suitable for anyone with diabetes, as it can easily cause stomach bloating, stomach pain, and even stomach bleeding. Other gastrointestinal medications can be taken instead. Improper diet can lead to acute intestinal inflammation. Drinking plenty of water and eating a light diet can help, and probiotics can also be consumed. The above information can be used as a reference.
