Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Usually, in diabetic patients, it might happen to have an oral thrush due to fungi. But in your case, it is repeated.
So it might be that the diabetes is in disequilibrium and the current treatment should be reevaluated by your treating doctor.
Or there's an infection that an infectious disease specialist should examine further with some blood tests like Hemogram ESR, PCR. Another examination that should be done is gastroscopy to see better the foodways and to get samples for lab examination.
In my opinion probably the first is more to be. So the current treatment should be reevaluated.
I hope to have been helpful.
