Is my diabetes affecting my mouth?

I have type two diabetes. I've been diagnosed for about three years. I keep it pretty well under control with a combination of diet, exercise and by taking metformin. About two weeks ago my tongue and the top of my mouth started feeling strange. They feel as if I've had a bad burn. Except I don't remember burning my mouth and they're not getting better. Is this related to my diabetes? Or my medication?

    Diabetes stresses your immune system and leaves you vulnerable to infections, including viral and fungal infections in your mouth. I'd have your doctor check it out soon. Also Biotene mouthwash is especially good to help soothe and treat this kind of thing - it is antiseptic but it doesn't burn. I learned about it when I was in cancer treatment and had a weakened immune system. Your local drugstore should have it.

    If any of you need a new glucose meter, my sister just got one for free. A nurse at her doctors office told her about a company that is giving them away to help out people that need help. You can visit their website here to see if you qualify. http://ow.ly/1ruQH

    It sounds like it could maybe be thrush. Diabetics are more susceptible to it.
