Periodontitis and Insulin Periodontitis and Insulin Resistance Resistance Periodontitis and Insulin Periodontitis and Insulin Resistance Resistance
Recent studies demonstrate links between PD and insulin resistance (case control and randomized trials)
• PD causes insulin resistance and significant elevations in serum glucose/HbA1c levels (degree of insulin resistance directly related to severity of PD)
• treatment of PD improves glycemic status in diabetic patients (significant decreases in serum glucose/HbA1c levels, reduced insulin requirements, effects more pronounced for severe PD)
• significantly more PD in non-diabetic patients with documented insulin resistance
• documented relationship between PD and pre-diabetes (impaired fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance)
