Type 2 Diabetes and Cigars

I have the palette of a goat, so I'm not sure how good my feedback will be. I did not notice anything with the introduction of diabetes meds. Not to say that this is not the case for you -- everyone is different. Have you noticed taste differences with foods?

One other thing worth noting: as you get older your tastebuds atrophy so that could (also) be a factor. I would say that this is probably a the biggest factor for me.

First off what kind of meds are you taking?

I am totally in a different boat than you, I am a Type 1 diabetic and have been for 30 years. But I take insulin injections and do not or every had tasting issues.

One drug known to be excreted into saliva and to cause taste disturbance is metformin. Some people who take this medication complain of a metallic taste in their mouth.

My guess is you are taking a pill or more every day that may be causing the problem. But you have to take them to keep your pancreas stimulated. You could ask your doctor if you could try a different Med and give it a few months to see if you notice a change!!!
