Long Term Diabetic needing advice please

Hi all

I'm new to the forum even though I have had Type 1 Diabetes for many years (More than 30 anyway !) and I'm just after some advice if anyone can help please. I visited my dentist yesterday and after many years of being told I had Geographic Tongue he now says he thinks it's Leukoplakia - which can be pre-cancerous. I've tried to google it and frightened myself to death of course but I did read that diabetics are 3 times more prone to getting it. Just wondered if anyone had it and if so could give me some info please?

Thanks

Hiya

Thanks for responding so quickly. Im awaiting an appointment with specialist but just trying to look for myself - wish I hadn't bothered!!! Having looked at what it looks on the web my tongue doesn't have the white scaley patches that's dexcribed. I have what looks like thrush - but doesn' scrape off and also comes and goes - strangely depending on where I am in my monthly cycle! and also a strange patch on the end of my tongue that looks like Geographic Tongue but hasn't disappeared for about 3/4 weeks.

Any other info would be greatly received !

Thanks
