About one-fifth of tooth loss can be attributed to diabetes. Periodontal diseases include gingivitis and periodontitis. Gingivitis is the acute or chronic inflammation of the gums, which is usually caused by dental plaques. Five major impacts on oral health by diabetes include gum disease, dry mouth or change in taste, infection, slow healing and periodontal disease. In addition, beside affecting blood sugar; periodontal disease is also closely related to cardiovascular disease. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are not only beneficial to cardiovascular and metabolism, but also can inhibit inflammation and diabetic patients.</p>}, number={01}, journal={International Journal of Integrated Medical Research}, author={Liao, Da-Ming and Chen, Chieh}, year={2023}, month={Mar.}, pages={17–21} }
