Dry Mouth

Not sure but maybe 7 is still too high for you? I usually only get the dry mouth thing when mine is higher than that, from 9.5 upwards. Other people with more experience may think differently. I know that the other day it took over 2 hours and nearly a litre of water before I felt human again, and when I look back at pre diagnosis realise why I felt so awful so often! :shock:

Hi Angela,

Are you drinking with your meal? Toast is very dry and anyone, diabetic or not, benefits from having a drink to help moisten our food and not have dry foods use up fluid already in the body. That is not a medical opinion at all, just a logical assumption taken from my own experience that I hate eating a meal without a drink

Now you're going to tell me, 'Yes, of course I drink with my toast', in which case all I can say is I have no idea. I would suggest that a dry mouth with a 7 blood test is most likely not caused by the blood sugar. 7 is completely within the normal range for a non-diabetic two hours after a meal.

Hi, dont know if this will help? but a couple of meds that I take, have the side effects of giving me a dry mouth. It is clearly listed on the manufacturers enclosed list in the meds packaging. Anna.

Hi,
I get this as well i find a Werthers original sugar free helps.
But if you do try them only start with 3 max per day they can have a nasty side effect.
