Bad Breath With Diabetes

People who have diabetes may also have bad breath. This occurs because of poor control of blood sugar, the problem with most diabetics. And gum disease is a problem for diabetics.

It can be difficult to determine which comes first, the diabetes or the gum disease, but the underlying problem is clear. The American Dental Association reports that people with type 1 diabetes 5 are at greater risk for gingivitis.

The high blood sugar of diabetes contributes to gum disease. Diabetics have trouble controlling the high blood sugar. Gum disease is a leading cause of bad breath, hence the correlation.

What to do about the bad breath with diabetes? Go on a diabetic diet that will keep your sugar under control. Along with that, take some probiotics to introduce plenty of good bacteria to your digestive system. Soon the bad breath with diabetes will disappear.
