Bad Breath and Diabetes – the link between them.

Bad breath and diabetes are two conditions that often occur mysteriously at the same time. While your doctor may not have told you that there is a link between bad breath and diabetes, if you have chronic bad breath and diabetes, the two are probably related. Poor blood sugar control increases your risk of bad breath, and diabetes sufferers fit this description. High blood sugar levels make gum disease worse, a common cause of bad breath, and diabetes then becomes harder to control due to the gum disease. So not only is bad breath more likely to occur in diabetes sufferers, but bad breath and diabetes each in turn cause the other condition to become harder to control and deal with.

Bad breath and diabetes should be monitored carefully, and people with diabetes should try to pay special attention to their dental care to prevent the gum disease that can cause chronic bad breath. Many toothpastes and mouthwashes are ineffective at preventing bad breath and gum disease; however, we offer an all-natural, sugar-free product that is more effective than most over the counter oral care products in dealing with bad breath and diabetes.
