Diabetes is a disease that occurs when the amount of glucose, or blood sugar, in the body is too high. Gum disease provides a way for oral bacteria to find their way to other parts of the body. A hormone known as insulin is responsible for helping the cells in your body to use this glucose for energy. A November 2020 study found more evidence of connections between rheumatoid arthritis and periodontal (gum) disease.
