12. Gum Problems
High blood sugar from diabetes can mean more sugars in your saliva, which may encourage plaque and germs in your mouth. This can affect your teeth and gums, causing tooth decay and gum disease. In addition, high blood sugar can aggravate gum disease more quickly. If you are experiencing gum problems that you couldn’t explain, especially if accompanied by other symptoms of diabetes, make sure to get it checked by your doctor.
