The Dhaka Times Desk Usually, when diabetes takes root in the body, it is not detected in the first stage. In the case of any disease, the earlier the disease is detected, the better. But is bad breath a sign of diabetes?
The prevalence of diabetes is currently very high all over the world. Many people get diabetes before reaching 30 due to uncontrolled lifestyle. According to a study, every year about 15 lakh people die due to diabetes. When diabetes takes root in the body, it is not understood in the first stage. As with any disease, the earlier the disease is detected the better. This enables early warning.
Some symptoms like frequent urination, dry tongue even after drinking water, blurred vision, weight loss, tendency to eat excessive sweets are also seen in the case of diabetes. Apart from these, doctors say that bad breath can also be a symptom of diabetes.
High blood sugar levels affect the area around the mouth. Kidney, heart, other organs of the body are also damaged due to diabetes. Proper lifestyle, restrictions on eating and drinking, regular exercise can increase blood sugar even if diabetes is under control. In this situation, first of all, a urine and dental examination is required.
The problem of bad breath from the mouth is called 'halitosis' in medical terms. If blood sugar levels become dangerously high and are accompanied by these problems, seek medical advice as soon as possible.
Doctors said, in diabetic patients, these symptoms like bad breath, various dental problems, increased urine volume may also occur. These problems are also called 'diabetic ketoacidosis'. Diabetic ketoacidosis is caused by lack of insulin in the blood. Due to insulin deficiency, the body cannot produce energy by metabolizing sugars. Due to which the body starts producing energy through fatty acids. As a result, 'ketone bodies' are formed in the body. These types of problems can arise when the blood sugar level is more than 250 to 300.
A patient's urine should be tested for ketones in the body. Experts suggest that this 'halitosis' and 'diabetic ketoacidosis' can become very worrying for diabetic patients. Source: Anandabazar Patrika.
