People with diabetes are more likely to have gum disease which can lead to loss of teeth. Gum disease can also increase insulin resistance which makes diabetes harder to control.

Key takeaways:

- Regular dental checkups are essential if you have diabetes.
- Keep blood sugar under control to help reduce oral bacteria.
- Dry mouth can allow oral bacteria to build up, so keep hydrated with water.

It's important to monitor your oral health to prevent gum disease if you have diabetes.
