thanks for your query, the problem what you are facing looks like oral submucous fibrosis because of the gutkha and zarda chewing habit. the elasticity of the mucosa reduces and mouth opening also decreases. the dryness in the mouth could be secondary to diabetes and the drugs you are taking for diabetes. consult your oral physician and get it diagnosed and you can use wet mouth gel for drymouth and for oral submucous fibrosis you can take antioxidants and intralesional injection from oral physician. i hope my answer will help you..
