Its really important to take care of your teeth when you are diabetic, I remember sitting down to dinner with my diabetic grandmother some years back and two of her teeth fell out at the table, poor her she was mortified. I have just come back from the hygenist who has confirmed that my teeth and gums are doing much better, I put that down to the change to a low carb diet, which has reduced inflamation.

Yes we have to pay the full price unfortunately
