The periodontal health of this group of individuals with
type-2 diabetes was poorer with increased duration of
diabetes, higher levels of FBG, HbA1c and higher score of
compliance to self management of diabetes. Longer diabetes
duration, higher FBG and HbA1C levels, and poorer
score of compliance to self management of diabetes were
positively related to poorer scores on periodontal health
parameters in multiple linear regression analysis
