Huh, interesting. There's a definite link between candida and diabetes. Most doctors believe diabetes leads to candida but I theorize that the opposite could also occur; that is, candida could also lead to diabetes. I don't have the dry mouth part but I do have pretty bad thrush that didn't go away with milk kefir or the paragons so maybe my candida is more resistant and established (I've had the problem for years). So you should definitely try the cleanses; they could work for you!
