Uncontrolled blood sugar. It sets you up big time for gum disease. That's what you have. You need to go to the dentist and see if he can help. If not, you may have to have to get dentures.
Been there, done that.

dont know, but its not good see a doctor

people with diabetes are more likely to have infections of their gums and the bones that hold the teeth in place. Diabetes also causes a decrease in blood supply to the gums making them more susceptible to disease. In addition, high blood sugars may cause dry mouth and make gum disease worse. The decrease in saliva can cause an increase in tooth decaying bacteria and plaque build up.

keep your glucose levels under control and see a periodontist( specialize in gum disease and implants) about your gums, there are options he can discuss with you...good luck.

because you havent been taking care of yourself. if your sugar is out of control, that's one of the things on the list, along with blindness, numbness in the extremities, and kidney failure.
take a page from a type 1's book. take care of your body! you ONLY GET ONE!

i suggest you go to your doctor.

Glucose is one of the biggest globs of stuff that travels through your blood. Whenever a part of your body comes to an end the vessels get smaller. Eyes, feet, fingers, gums... That excess sugar reduces circulation and can cause nerve damage. This inhibits the body from regenerating.

to much candy that what makez diabetes worse in the first place
