Dry Mouth and Diabetes

Can dry mouth be connected with Diabetes? Experts say that dry mouth is really one of the symptoms of Diabetes in early stage. About 30% to 50% of patients with Diabetes can feel dry in mouth in the early stage. If the blood sugar can not be controlled well, dry mouth may become worse. They even need to drink water at midnight so as to relieve thirst.
How to deal with it according to natural treatment of traditional Chinese medicine? Diabetes patients are suggested to have medlar. To solve the problem that patients feel thirst at night, they can have 30g at night and chew them. They can also wash the medlar clean and put it on the tongue. After several seconds, there will be fluid from the root of the tongue, which can relive the thirst.
Besides these, what else can people do so as to treat Diabetes? Stem cell transplant is the latest news which is used to treat many kinds of diseases including Diabetes. As we mentioned in the premier articles, Diabetes is also a kind of immune disease.
Type 1 Diabetes is a condition in which the immune system can rapidly destroy the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. These stem cell transplants apparently work by ‘resetting’ the immune system so that the body stops attacking the pancreas.

  1. A dry mouth can exacerbate the side effects of diabetes, which will then lead to an increase in glucose levels, wreaking havoc on the body. A dry mouth is not only a symptom of high blood sugar, but it can also be the cause of it. Having a dry mouth, especially as a diabetic, can lead to rampant tooth decay, which means blood sugar increases as the body tries, and fails, to fight infection. A dry mouth can also lead to loss of sleep and an altered sense of taste, a condition that presents with a metallic or sour taste in the mouth. Also have regular dental check-ups with dentists to maintain good oral hygiene.
