The exaggerated immune responses from mouth makes other inflammatory conditions also to worsen in the body. One such common inflammatory condition being diabetes mellitus in which the hormone insulin helps turn dietary sugar into energy for the body’s cells. However, when affected with diabetes either the body doesn’t produce enough insulin, or the available insulin cannot be metabolized into sugar effectively resulting in serious health issues. Research have indicated a link between diabetes and gum disorders as both are chronic inflammatory disorders and have shown that diabetics with uncontrolled gum diseases have poor blood sugar levels.
