[QUOTE="foxydent, post: 1800701, member: 44270"] My understanding as both a dentist and T1 is that the presence of chronic periodontal disease causes inflammation in the body and a generalised increase in HbA1c and increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes in particular. Also management of blood glucose in established diabetics is adversely affected and there is evidence that elevated blood glucose levels increase the risk of atherosclerosis and cardiac disease et al. Also being diabetic with periodontal disease it tends to be worse and more difficult to manage than in non diabetics. Ive never heard about issues with donating blood and oral health. I was told by the blood donation service that anyone on medication, even paracetamol, cannot donate blood. [/QUOTE]
