Conclusion
Managing the care of patients with DM in the dental office should not pose a significant challenge. Hypoglycemia is the major issue that usually confronts dental practitioners when they are treating patients with DM, especially if patients are asked to fast before undergoing a procedure.
Finally, having well-controlled blood glucose levels is important for infection prevention and proper healing. At the same time, patients are needed to be made aware of regu- lar periodontal maintenance schedule and oral hygiene.
