[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 2039546"] If you BG is high, your body tries to get rid of the excess glucose. This is why one symptom of untreated diabetes is excess weeing. Another way our bodies try to get rid of the glucose is through saliva. This sugary saliva can rot our teeth (in the same way as sugary sweets). This is the only connection I know between diabetes and tooth decay. I have had type 1 for 15 years and lost no teeth in that time. [/QUOTE]
