What Could Cause Bitterness & Loss Of Taste In Diabetic Patients?
Greetings I am writing on behalf of my mother. She is 74, has had diabetes for over 10 hrs. Recently had an MRI of the brain that revealed several smal strokes. She complains of loss of taste. Currently on 2 antibiotics for bronchitis. Feels dizzy. What could this bitterness and loss of taste be attributed to? Thanks
