The document discusses diabetes and its effects on oral health. There are two main types of diabetes: type 1, which usually affects young people with little insulin production; and type 2, which is more common in adults and associated with obesity and insulin resistance. Diabetes can increase the risk of various oral health issues like periodontitis, xerostomia, dental abscesses, ulcers, and delayed wound healing. Proper treatment and management of blood sugar levels can help reduce risks to oral health.
