Conclusions
Diabetes-related factors such as duration of diabetes, FBG,
HbA1c and compliance to self management of diabetes
were significantly correlated with periodontal health among
individuals with type-2 diabetes. Therefore, we emphasize
the role of blood glucose control and self-care practice of
diabetes along with oral health education for management
of oral health, which is exceptionally important for prevention
of diabetes related complications and improvement of
quality of life [31,32].
