Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
I had gone through your query and understand your concern.
Oral thrush are very much common among diabetics, mainly because sugar level will be more which favors the growth of fungus.
For my patients with oral thrush i would have sugessted
1.Keeping blood sugar levels under control .
2.Maintaining good dental hygiene
3.Brushing twice a day
4.Rinsing your mouth after eating
5.Using mouthwash
6.Maintaining clean dentures.
Consult your doctor for getting some topical anti fungal cream.She may require the anti fungal cream for the present condition.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
