First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study measured certain inflammatory markers in the saliva and blood of 126 people with type 2 diabetes, some of whom also had kidney disease (diabetic nephropathy). The goal was to see if these markers differ based on gum health. Researchers hope to better understand the link between gum disease and diabetes complications.
