With the increasing number of diagnosed diabetics in the general population, dental health care providers can anticipate a greater number of diabetics in their practices. Familiarity with the systemic and oral signs and symptoms of DM may facilitate its diagnosis, and contribute to the quality of the individual's overall health. It is also important to be aware of the medications used to manage DM and the effect the disease and its treatment may have on dental treatment and scheduling of appointments. The dental provider may also be confronted with emergency management of the diabetic, with the most common condition being hypoglycemia. This paper has also reviewed the clinical signs and symptoms of this state and approaches to management.
随着普通人群中糖尿病确诊病例数量的增加，牙科保健提供者可以预期在其诊疗过程中会遇到更多糖尿病患者。熟悉糖尿病的全身和口腔体征及症状可能有助于其诊断，并有助于提高个体的整体健康质量。了解用于治疗糖尿病的药物以及该疾病及其治疗可能对牙科治疗和预约安排产生的影响也很重要。牙科保健提供者还可能面临糖尿病患者的紧急处理情况，最常见的是低血糖。本文还回顾了这种状态的临床体征和症状以及处理方法。
