Hi there,
I went to the GP about a month ago with really bad thirst and dry mouth and she did a test for diabetes. My HBA1C was 33 and my random/fasting glucose was 3.8. Now I have developed oral thrush that won't go away despite using very strong anti fungals and the GP says she is perplexed as to why I would be getting it as a 19 year old. I read that oral thrush is common with diabetics because of the high amount of sugar in the saliva. I was wondering if I could still be diabetic but just experiencing a lot of highs and then I overproduce insulin to lower it which would factor for the lows which would still make my HBA1C and glucose test look normal but the highs are causing the thrush? Basically what I'm asking is can someone who has my results still be diabetic?
