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 regular periodontal maintenance schedule and oral hygiene.
