This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether treating gum disease (periodontitis) can help improve blood sugar control in adults who have type 2 diabetes. Researchers will provide non-surgical gum disease treatment and then measure your blood sugar levels and overall quality of life over one year to see if treating your gums makes a difference.
Recent research suggests that gum disease and diabetes are connected — treating one may help improve the other. This trial aims to find out whether this treatment could be a simple way to help people with diabetes manage their condition better.
