[QUOTE="100nettie, post: 239770, member: 9443"] I have type 2 diabetes, controlled with Metformin and Sitagliptin. However, I appear to be suffering from some nasty side effects. I keep getting oral thrush. It's driving me mad. Nothing will clear it apart from a week's course of flucozanole. Sometimes, I no sooner finish the course when I get it again. It starts in my throat, and makes me feel like I have something to cough out. Then it progresses as a white film on my tongue. Patches of this then fall out and leave raw, bleeding areas on my tongue. Needless to say, it's extremely painful. I eat a healthy diet, and have cut out anything with sugar or a high fat amount. I've been seeing a dietitian, and over the last year have been steadily losing weight. I have spoken to my diabetes doctor about it, he says my readings are fine and there's no reason why I would keep getting this, but I never had it before I was diagnosed with diabetes. (my HBA1c is 7.4%) I've tried probiotics, drinks, yogurts, etc, the medicated gel, the nystatic liquid (nasty) and nothing will shift it. I even caught a cold, and because I had a pocket of thrush in my throat, I couldn't breathe when the cold swelled my throat. I had to go and have a naso gastric tube put into my throat to knock some of the thrush off, and an intensive 2 week course of flucozanole. But it has come back again. Does anyone else suffer from this? If so, is there a natural way to control it without being on flucozanole permanently? I would appreciate any help you can give with this. :oops: [/QUOTE]
