What Causes Sore Tongue And Mouth In A Type 2 Diabetic Person?
My tongue and mouth are uncomfortably sore for 1-2 weeks---I m thinking it may be oral thrush but there are no white spots; I m not a smoker. I am a generally healthy Type 2 diabetic, well controlled w/ medication. Is there something I can take to relieve the discomfort.
Dear Sir, greetings from HCM ... I understand your problems ... You told that your blood glucose is well in control ... That's great .. Any way to be on the safer side get your HbA1c done ...along with lipid profile and fasting glucose levels ... The sore tongue could be due to vitamin deficiency .. Please take good nutritious food and for a month better take any vitamin and mineral supplements .. Riboflavin / even zinc deficiency could also lead to this kind of problems ... U will be alright in a week after starting supplements but regularly take green leafy vegetables and fruits which will give these supplements naturally .. Take care and all the best .. Do contact us for more queries..

HI Sore throat and sore mouth in a diabetic are due to B.complex deficiency -Don't worry apply any mouth paint locally thrice a day,available at the counter -Take any brand of Tab. B.complex daily -Betadine gargles 2-3 TIMES A DAY -Take fresh fruits Thanks
hi there I can understand your concern in my opinion the problem might be general throat infection called pharyngitis I suggest you to check your blood sugar and do warm salt water gargling you will recover in no time
