That is why it is important to watch for certain signs that may indicate prediabetes, so that action can be taken early. One of these is the health of the gums, which is particularly helpful for early diagnosis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here are some symptoms that may point to high blood sugar and diabetes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cul>\u003Cli>Red, inflamed gums\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Bleeding when brushing\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Persistent bad breath\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Gum recession\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Pus around the gum line\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>One or more loose teeth\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Erosion at the necks of the teeth\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\n\u003Cp>Numerous studies carried out over recent decades have repeatedly confirmed the relationship between gum health and metabolic syndromes, diabetes in particular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is because high blood glucose levels damage the blood vessels and reduce the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the gums, making gum and bone infections more likely. In addition, as glucose levels in the saliva rise, they create fertile ground for bacteria, increasing the risk of gum disease and tooth decay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gum inflammation, in turn, enters the bloodstream and disrupts the immune defence system, affecting blood sugar control. In other words, gum disease and diabetes are interconnected, each influencing the other. For this reason, the EFP (European Federation of Periodontology) recommends a full dental check-up after a diagnosis of diabetes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Research carried out by the University of Barcelona has also recently shown how caring for the mouth can significantly improve blood sugar levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The researchers studied 90 patients with type 2 diabetes.\u003Cbr>\nEach of them received six months of treatment aimed at improving their oral health.
