Gum treatment for better blood sugar in diabetes
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether treating gum disease can help improve blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes. If you have poorly controlled diabetes and gum disease, you may be able to join this study.

This study tests whether a type 2 diabetes medicine (a GLP-1 receptor agonist) can also help treat gum disease. If you have both diabetes and gum problems, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether a gum health follow-up program using a smartphone or tablet can help people with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar. You may join if you've had gum disease treated in the last 6 months and are ready for the monitoring phase.
This study looks at how well people with diabetes follow dental care advice and what they know about keeping their gums healthy. It aims to help improve care for people with diabetes.
This trial tests whether combining standard gum treatment with a light-activated therapy can reduce bad breath in people with type 2 diabetes and advanced gum disease.
This study checks whether certain substances in saliva can help detect gum disease in people with type 2 diabetes. It compares the levels of these substances in people with diabetes and gum disease, people with gum disease only, people with diabetes only, and healthy volunteers.
This study tests whether a mouth rinse containing helpful bacteria (called parabiotics) can improve gum health in people who have both gum disease and type 2 diabetes. It may offer a simple, non-drug way to manage inflammation.
