What is the problem exactly? Well, the problem involves an elevated inflammatory response. The way that periodontal disease can harm your body’s way of dealing with sugar is a follows:

1. Diseased gum tissue develops into a long-term chronic infection. As a result, there are elevated levels of inflammatory response chemicals in the blood stream. One of the unfortunate results of inflammation is that the
insulin receptors on the surface of the body’s cells tend to become fewer. Without as many cell receptors for insulin, it is much harder for the body to process sugar.

2. You are left with high blood glucose levels and this is a problem. This is one of the proposed theories of how these diseases are interrelated. In fact, the way that gum disease is related to many diseases may have something to do with the long term chronic infection that this disease produces.

3. The inflammatory response is great for short term problems. But when the response is chronic, the body is weakened in multiple ways. It is important to stop periodontal disease because of this.
