Your gums and your blood sugar affect each other. Lily, our LS ToothBuddy, explains the two-way link between gum disease and diabetes, and why healthy gums are part of managing diabetes, in under a minute.
Here's What's Going On
Gum disease and blood sugar affect each other, it goes both ways.
High blood sugar makes gum infections more likely and more severe.
In turn, infected swollen gums can make blood sugar harder to control.
That's why looking after your gums is a real part of managing diabetes, not a separate thing.
Regular scaling and gum checks matter even more if you have diabetes.
