| Abstrakt: | Chronic hyperglycemia is a hallmark of diabetes mellitus (DM), one of the most common endocrine illnesses affecting millions of people globally. A key issue for diabetes patients is a compromised immune system, which impairs their capacity to fight off invading microbes and increases their susceptibility to infections. Compared to the healthy population, those with DM experience noticeably longer recovery from illnesses or injuries. Individuals suffering from DM are more susceptible to Candida albicans colonizing their oral and/or vaginal mucosa and urinary system. The present article presented a case of a 52-year-old female patient who reported recurrent multiple plaque-like lesions with the underlying condition of hyperglycemia. The oral lesions were treated using the local application of clotrimazole gel and the discomfort subsided with Aceclofenac. The underlying condition was treated by a general physician who prescribed the tablet metformin 500mg. The patient was educated about the predisposing condition, and motivated to make some lifestyle changes and to maintain a proper diet.
