Background: Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by uncontrolled blood sugar levels, which lead to end-organ damage. While the diagnosis and treatment of its complications have been extensively studied, the effect of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO) on diabetes-related oral complications remains unexplored.
Aim: This prospective clinical study aims to investigate the effect of HBO on diabetes-related oral complications.
Methods: Twenty patients diagnosed with diabetic foot ulcers and scheduled for HBO were included in this study. We recorded stimulated and unstimulated saliva pH, buffering capacity, flow rate, and subjective symptoms such as dry mouth, halitosis, taste loss, difficulty swallowing, and clinical examination findings before HBO and after the 21st session.
Results: Upon comparing the findings, we observed a significant decrease in dry mouth and halitosis, periodontal disease severity, and healing of candida-related stomatitis and angular cheilitis. Despite not reaching statistical significance for other saliva parameters, the unstimulated salivary flow rate increased to normal limits (0.3-0.4 ml/min) in 6 out of 8 patients with a flow rate of less than 0.25 ml/min.
Conclusion: Our study investigated the effect of HBO on diabetes-related oral complications for the first time, highlighting symptomatic relief for dry mouth and halitosis. Although our results are insufficient to report a definitive benefit, they underscore the need for further research on the oral health effects of HBO.

Gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) is synthesized from glutamate by glutamic decarboxylase (GAD). The entero-pancreatic biology of GABA, which is produced by pancreatic islets, GAD-expressing microbiota, enteric immune cells, or ingested through diet, supports an essential physiologic role of GABA in the health and disease. Outside the central nervous system (CNS), GABA is uniquely concentrated in pancreatic β-cells.

Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus SD11 (SD11) has several health benefits for the host, including antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effects. However, the antidiabetic mechanism of SD11 has not been clearly elucidated. The current study assessed the effects of SD11 and the associated underlying mechanisms on streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice.

Background: Existing studies predominantly focused on the relationship between periodontitis and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), with limited data on the association between periodontitis and type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). This study aimed to examine the impact of T1DM and periodontitis on the subgingival microbiome and levels of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs).
Methods: Samples were collected from four groups: T1DM, periodontitis (P), T1DM with periodontitis (DP), and periodontally and systemically healthy controls (Control).

Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to assess the reliability of a short food frequency questionnaire designed to evaluate dietary patterns associated with type 2 diabetes risk and to create a Diabetes Dietary Quality Index.
- Healthy participants completed the questionnaire, and the results indicated good reproducibility, showing consistent correlation in responses.
- Findings revealed that a higher Diabetes Dietary Quality Index score was linked to improved metabolic health, including lower post-meal glucose and insulin levels, as well as better cholesterol profiles.
