DIABETES FACTS
By Jackie Marrinan
98% of DIABETICS have Periodontal Disease (gum disease)
People with DIABETES are at greater risk for developing infections
Periodontal Disease (chronic infection) can impair DIABETES control
Management of Periodontitis can result in significant reduction in A1C
Case studies show where A1C levels were reduced 1-2% by nonsurgical periodontal therapy using sub-microbial dosage of doxycycline
Reducing A1C at 1% can reduce the risk of all DIABETES-related deaths by 25% as well as significantly reducing other DIABETIC complications like nerve damage, vision loss, vascular disease and kidney disease
1% reduction of A1C could be the difference between DIABETES, PRE-DIABETES or a HEALTHY diagnosis
Like Periodontal Disease, the best way to treat DIABETES is to prevent it!
