牙周疾病，也称为牙龈疾病，包括牙龈炎和牙周炎。在这些 inflammatory 疾病，细菌攻击支撑牙齿的组织和骨骼。炎症会影响新陈代谢并增加血糖，这会使糖尿病恶化。

Though diabetes can lead to periodontal diseases, these diseases can also create further problems for people with diabetes.

According to a2013 report, about 1 in 3 people with diabetes also experience periodontal diseases. Heart disease and stroke, which can be complications of diabetes, are also linked to periodontal disease.
