Diabetes and Dry Mouth Problems

Diabetes and Dry Mouth Problems Lubricity

People diagnosed with diabetes often experience xerostomia, also known as dry mouth. Dry mouth is a symptom of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, but not everyone with diabetes will experience this. Dry mouth can also be a side effect of medication used to treat diabetes.  

If you have diabetes, you may struggle with dry mouth problems. Some dry mouth problems are bad breath, dry or sore throat, and difficulty with chewing or swallowing.

What is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when your blood sugar is too high. When you eat food, it is then broken down into sugar (glucose) and released into the bloodstream. When your blood sugar rises, it signals the pancreas to release insulin. Insulin allows the blood sugar into your body’s cells, which will ultimately be used as energy.

However, diabetes prevents the body from making enough insulin or does not allow the body to utilize insulin the way it should be used. When there is not enough insulin, or it is not being used properly, an excess amount of sugar accumulates in the bloodstream, causing diabetes.

Does Diabetes Cause Dry Mouth?

Dry mouth is a common symptom of diabetes as the disease can cause a reduction in saliva productionThose with diabetes may also experience dry mouth due to: 

Dehydration

People with diabetes are more prone to dehydration. One of the effects of dehydration is dry mouth.

High Blood Sugar Levels

High blood glucose levels or hyperglycemia can occur in those with diabetes. This can cause a person to experience dry mouth or general oral discomfort. 

kidney conditions may cause dry mouth symptoms

medication is a common cause of dry mouth

Medication

Medication is the most common cause of dry mouth. Medications used to keep diabetes in control can cause dry mouth. Patients taking diabetes medications often take additional medications to control their blood pressure and heart disease and these medications can also contribute to dry mouth symptoms. 

Dry Mouth: A Warning Sign for Diabetes

It is common for those suffering from Type 1 or 2 diabetes to experience dry mouth as a warning sign for diabetes. Other potential indicators of diabetes include:

  • Blurry vision 
  • Fatigue 
  • Increased thirst
  • Frequent urination 
  • Increased hunger 
  • Weight loss 
  • Tingling or numbness 

Symptoms of diabetes can start quickly or develop slowly. It is more common for symptoms of Type 1 to form quickly and symptoms of Type 2 diabetes to be milder and develop slowly. Due to this, your dry mouth symptoms may seem to suddenly appear or develop as your diabetes progresses. 

The Problem with Dry Mouth

Dry mouth symptoms can significantly worsen your quality of life if ignored! Dry mouth symptoms can lead to decreased oral health, poor nutrition, gum disease, oral thrush, and mouth sores. 

If you are experiencing dry mouth symptoms as a result of diabetes, it is important to recognize the cause and take proper action to relieve them. Common symptoms of dry mouth include: 

  • Dry feeling in the mouth 
  • Rough or dry tongue 
  • Bad breath 
  • Difficulty speaking, chewing, eating, or swallowing 
  • Mouth sores or infections 
  • Altered, metallic taste
dry mouth can lead to oral health issues
