Studies over the years have found that the incidence of periodontitis is significantly higher and somewhat more severe in diabetics than in healthy people. Because of what? This is because the high blood sugar of diabetic patients weakens the immune system and gums, which in turn reduces the ability of periodontal tissues to resist infection, which can easily trigger an inflammatory response, leading to damage and destruction of periodontal tissues and triggering the onset and aggravation of inflammation. Secondly, diabetic patients have a reduced ability to repair wounds, and once periodontal inflammation occurs, it is not easy to recover and heal. There is evidence that diabetes and periodontitis are a pair of mutually influencing diseases, as long as one is not well controlled, it will aggravate the other, and a vicious circle will be formed. This means that the presence of periodontitis can also have a negative impact on the glycemic control of sugar lovers. If you pay attention to your lifestyle and oral hygiene, you can maintain a good periodontal condition or keep your blood sugar at a good level, which is very beneficial for the treatment of diabetes and periodontitis. The treatment of diabetes requires attention not only to the control of blood sugar but also to periodontal problems. If you have frequent periodontal bleeding, remember to check to see if there is a periodontal problem, and also pay attention to the stability of blood sugar, it is best to do a glycosylated hemoglobin test.
