10 Gestational Diabetes Symptoms
2. Dry Mouth
Our mouths are naturally very moist. This is thanks to the presence of a fluid that we know as saliva, and the fluid is more important to us then a lot of people realize. For example, it helps to break down our food, softening it in readiness for digestion. The fluid also helps to prevent infections in the mouth due to its anti-septic properties.
If the body was to stop producing and/or secreting saliva into our mouths, then our mouths would soon become dry. This can become quite uncomfortable and can also go on to cause a number of complications. A dry mouth is a symptom of gestational diabetes, and it is a symptom that you should get checked out if you develop it.
