Can diabetes cause gum problems? We are waiting for blood test results on my DD. Her gums are quite sore and red. She brushes/flosses daily and always has. Dentist didn't offer much help except to brush and floss. This seemed to happen quickly and I was wondering if sugar levels could be the cause. She has never been dx with diabetes but its been a couple years since she has been checked. Any thoughts would greatly be appreciated.
