What Causes Dry Mouth In A Diabetic?
,,, hello I I have had a dry mouth for about a year now and reported it to my Doctor Who has tested me for diabetes and has said that I am fine. I drink water quite regularly about 2.5 litres a day but I still seem to feel thirsty my mouth feels very dry. I have noticed that if I drink milk it does help temporarily. I also urinate quite regularly and think this may be linked to the problem.

if you are taking any medication which directly or indirectly affect parasympathetic system it may cause dry mouth,
