Gum health is closely related to blood sugar levels. Let's examine the importance of gum care.

 

◇Gum disease increases the risk of diabetes.

 

Having gum disease increases your risk of diabetes. A research team at the University of Birmingham in the UK followed 64,379 people with gum disease for three to four years and found a 26% higher risk of developing diabetes. This is because the bacteria that cause gum disease also cause inflammation in the blood vessels. This reduces blood vessel function and disrupts glucose metabolism. Bacteria can also travel through the bloodstream to the pancreas, damaging insulin-secreting cells.

 

People with diabetes should also be careful to avoid developing gum disease. A domestic study found that diabetic patients with poor oral health have a 17% higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease. This finding was derived from an 11-year follow-up of 17,009 diabetic patients who had not previously experienced a myocardial or cerebral infarction. Furthermore, having multiple missing teeth or having numerous cavities also increased the risk of cardiovascular disease.

◇​You should brush your teeth at least three times a day

 

To avoid diabetes, people with diabetes must be careful to prevent gum disease, which can lead to cardiovascular disease. A study conducted at Ewha Womans University Seoul Hospital found that people who brushed their teeth only once a day had a 14% higher risk of developing diabetes compared to those who brushed their teeth three times a day. It's crucial to brush your teeth after every meal to eliminate oral bacteria. Blood sugar control is also crucial, as persistent high blood sugar can worsen oral inflammation.

 

If you already have gum disease, it's a good idea to tell your doctor about your diabetes before undergoing dental treatment. This is because you'll often be taking anticoagulants, which affect bleeding, in addition to your diabetes medication.

 

==========

Brush your teeth three times

At work, we always do this 30 minutes after lunch.

I think that would be refreshing

    아침저녁으로 밖에 안하네요.   점심때는 한다고 하면서 커피 마시고 간식 먹다 보면 깜빡 잊어버리게 되네요.
