Why is my mouth so dry with diabetes?
Patient's Query
I am diabetic having Hba1c 6.6 and below upto 6.3 for last 2 years. My problem is that every time my mouth remains dry even after drinking water frequently. Since I don't have any idea to whom I need to consult regarding this,I consulted Dentist in this regard. He advised me to use SALEVA,a solution for dry mouth twice a day. It relieves for some hours but for remaining time,I am not comfortable. My mouth becomes so dry that I donot find any sputum most of the time and hence facing swallowing problem. As per the advice of dentist I am using sugar free chewing gum 'ORBIT' also. Please suggest, what to do.
Answered by Dr. Babita Goel
Dry mouth is uncomfortable. You have diabetes. Your high Hba1c levels cause it. Diabetes damages nerves, reducing saliva flow. Dry mouth makes swallowing hard, causing other problems too. Use products your dentist advised. Sip water frequently. Avoid caffeine. Stay hydrated. If it persists, consult your doctor or endocrinologist. They'll explore treatment options.
